The hype
Travelers love the chic 'California' decor and the rooftop dining, but often complain about the noise from the busy intersection below.
Hotel La Jolla, Curio Collection by Hilton
$200-400 / notte
Prenota se You want the La Jolla zip code and ocean views without the $800/night beachfront price tag, and you have a car.
Perchรฉ piace cosรฌ tanto
- Penthouse restaurant 'Sea & Sky' offers some of the best sunset views in San Diego
- All rooms have private balconies, many with ocean peeks
- The $30 daily food & beverage credit (part of the resort fee) actually makes the fee worth it
In sintesi: A stylish, renovated high-rise that feels like a hidden gem until you realize it's basically on a freeway on-ramp.
Recensito da @shakespeareagency:ย I spent the weekend at Hotel La Jolla and it was the perfect reset. The room felt super chic, and having drinks at the Hiatus Lounge downstairs was such a vibe. Definitely ask for a high floor so you can see the ocean over the palm trees!
