The Lodge at Torrey Pines is located high above the cliffs of the prominent seaside community of La Jolla, just 20 minutes north of downtown San Diego and the airport. The AAA Five Diamond resort, designed to blend with the sandstone formations and Torrey Pine trees of nearby Torrey Pines State Reserve, offers expansive views of the world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course and the Pacific Ocean, while reflecting the laidback lifestyle of America’s Finest City.
The Lodge pays homage to the Craftsman era with its post-and-beam construction, expansive spaces, respect for the natural landscape, and integration of indoor/outdoor living. It boasts 170 distinctive guestrooms and suites, all with beautiful views, and is also home to The Spa at Torrey Pines.
Guests of The Lodge at Torrey Pines enjoy expansive public rooms with fireplaces, large mantelpieces, overstuffed couches, comfortable leather chairs, and amazing views. A heated pool sits behind the Lodge with relaxing poolside cabanas, whirlpool, chaise lounges, and the new Judson’s poolside bar and venue on a large terrace. Guests can practice their golf skills on the Torrey Pines putting green or play croquet on the grass terrace. A short walk from the resort, Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve offers some of the most breathtaking coastline along the West Coast. The 2,000-acre park includes Torrey Pines State Beach, eight miles of hiking trails, and a lagoon that is home to several migrating seabirds.
Dining
The Lodge at Torrey Pines, located along the San Diego coastline in La Jolla, offers fantastic dining options. A.R. Valentien, the resort’s signature restaurant, features contemporary California cuisine, a treat to your taste buds as you enjoy excellent cuisine, and a treat to your eyes as you enjoy the view overlooking the golf course.
