Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa

Tucked into a quiet San Diego neighborhood minutes from the beach and SeaWorld, the Estancia La Jolla attracts business travelers as well as those looking to explore the great outdoors. The 210-room resort, opened in 2004, has plenty of meeting spaces, while the full-service spa features a pool, Jacuzzi, fitness center, and jogging trails. Play a round at the Torrey Pines Golf Course; visit La Jolla Cove, a protected marine sanctuary, and the Children’s Pool, a man-made beach; then relax at the on-site wine bar or the upscale Cal-Mex restaurant.
