Set amidst Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, this 249-room luxury San Diego resort captures the elegance and comfort of an old-world Mediterranean estate with an enviable Southern California locale. Its design honors the indelible style of visionary architect Addison Mizner (1872 – 1933) who drew his inspiration from Spain’s palaces and France’s sun-washed coastal retreats.

Incredible stay with my parents — we are so grateful to this property and cannot wait to come back! The customer service was truly exceptional. Every staff member was attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and impeccably maintained. I especially loved the soft music playing around the resort — it created such a relaxing and elegant atmosphere. Both pool areas were stunning and had their own unique vibe. We also tried the ice cream at the pool, which was absolutely delicious! The lobby lounge with live piano music and a fireplace was also a standout; we loved spending time there. The food overall was very good. Breakfast each morning was another highlight. The terrace setting was beautiful, and enjoying breakfast outdoors made the experience even more special. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

Came here for a coworkers wedding! Beautiful property and beautiful views. We were upstairs that had a terrace for reception and dinner. The staff were all amazing and very kind. Food was so good. Andrea the bartender outside was just wonderful. Very hospitable and accommodating. She went out of her way many times for us. My coworkers father used to work at the hotel and we were all treated so well and just had a blast. Will be back!!

Fabulous stay at the Fairmount Grand Del Mar. The property is impeccable, room was glorious and the service top notch. Better than the Montage, St. Regis, and the Teranea put together!

What a perfect experience! Dylan at the fri t desk made a huge difference in our overall experience. He found us the perfect room where we could sit outside and just enjoy the sun and silence. I appreciate his and the entire staff’s hospitality. Our massages were also amazing - that spa was clean and calming. Thanks to Dylan and the entire staff for a relaxing experience.
