Property Amenities

Voted "San Diego's Best", this historical inn provides the true essence of relaxation. Located in the heart of La Jolla, the inn offers deluxe accommodations in 15 elegant rooms each with a different decor. The garden, a lovely oasis with loquat trees, dappled sunlight and a lyrical fountain, is especially cozy in the early morning. So take a break from the ordinary and experience a more relaxing and gracious style of travel.

The Inn exudes European charm with wood burning fireplaces in some of the select rooms and a full gourmet breakfast by candlelight is served daily in the dining room. Bask in the sun on the bouganvilla draped, second floor patio, or relax with a cup of tea and a good book in the light and airy library. Order a picnic basket for two and enjoy a romantic evening watching the sun set from the La Jolla cliffs or take a leisurely stroll along the beach and explore the wonders of the tide pools. There are fresh flowers throughout the Inn and in all of the guestrooms to embrace the senses; fresh fruit and fine sherry to soothe a weary body; and the beauty of the nearby sea to heal the soul.

A block from the beach, in the heart of La Jolla's marvelous shops, restaurants and art galleries, the Inn is only minutes from San Diego's many other attractions such as Del Mar Race Track, Mexico, Sea Port Village, Old Town, Sea World, the Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Gas Lamp District, numerous theaters and the enchanting Balboa Park. Stroll into the Village for a relaxing dinner at one of the many fine restaurants, then browse among the galleries, antique stores and designer shops. The Museum of Contemporary Art is just steps form the Inn.

Come be our guest and experience true luxury.
