About the Hotel
Perched on a sandy bluff above Pacific Beach, Pacific Terrace Hotel offers one of San Diego’s most coveted beachfront settings, combining relaxed coastal luxury with uninterrupted Pacific Ocean views. As the city’s only beachfront AAA Four Diamond hotel, the intimate 73-room property places guests just steps from the sand while providing a boutique atmosphere that feels both exclusive and effortlessly Californian. Recently refreshed throughout, the hotel features bright, coastal-inspired accommodations with private patios or balconies, many showcasing panoramic ocean vistas. Spacious suites, including the expansive Grand Pacific Suite, offer generous living areas and multiple balconies designed to make the most of the spectacular waterfront location.
The beachfront lifestyle is at the heart of the Pacific Terrace experience. Guests can relax beside the oceanfront heated pool and hot tub, borrow complimentary beach cruisers for rides along the boardwalk, or take advantage of complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards for a day on the sand. The Terrace Café serves casual coastal cuisine, poolside cocktails, and in-room dining with ocean views, while massage services offer an added touch of wellness and relaxation.

Best hotel in La Jolla
Pacific Terrace Hotel is the only hotel I go to anymore I'm in La Jolla or San Diego. It's beautiful and start on the ocean. The rooms are also lovely I've been there many times

Anniversary trip
My husband and I recently took an anniversary trip to the Pacific Terrace Hotel. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back, though I would likely request a different room next time. We booked a partial ocean view room and were placed on the first floor, which I expected and was fine with. However, on Friday night, our view—and the smell—was impacted by the grill being used for the Fire Dance Friday event. While we could still see the fire dancer, the grill was directly in our line of sight and became the main focus. The smoke and food odors were a bit of a nuisance, though only for that one evening. Aside from that, we had a great experience. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, but they called us as soon as it was available and even placed our luggage in the room, so we only had to stop by the front desk to pick up our keys. Friday nights view/smell was truly our only complaint. I would absolutely stay here again, but next time I may request a room on a higher floor or consider booking a different room type.

What a nice place
I gotta say these was the nicest hotel staff I’ve encountered in a long time. Each one was nicer then the next. Every request was met with a smile. The whole weekend was excellent. Beds were quite comfortable, the pillows were divine. The cafe staff and bar staff was top notch. What super nice people. I would stay here every day for the rest of my life if I could. Thank you
