The Lodge At Torrey Pines

The Lodge at Torrey Pines sits directly beside the Torrey Pines Golf Course in the Torrey Pines area of La Jolla, San Diego, with the famed course essentially at its doorstep and a driving range and golf lessons available on site. Nature is close at hand: the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is about half a mile away, and the Torrey Pines Gliderport, Torrey Pines State Beach, and Scripps Pier are all in the vicinity, along with the Birch Aquarium. Research institutions and cultural venues round out the surroundings, with the University of California, San Diego, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and the Geisel Library within roughly 3 km, and the La Jolla Playhouse a little farther out. For shopping, Westfield UTC is close by, while La Jolla Cove and Mission Bay make easy coastal day trips. San Diego International Airport (SAN) is about 25 km away. Dining is a highlight here, with two on-site restaurants including A.R. Valentien, which serves fresh regional cuisine in a timbered room overlooking the 18th hole of the golf course. Guests can also grab a bite at the coffee shop and cafe or unwind at the poolside bar and the two bars and lounges. The 170 air-conditioned rooms feature refrigerators, LCD flat-screen cable TVs, granite and marble bathrooms with over-sized bathtubs, guest robes and slippers, and work desks, and select rooms look out over the botanical garden or golf course. Beyond the greens, the property offers a spa with massages, body treatments, and facials, plus an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna, and a steam room. A fitness center, concierge services, a business center with meeting space, and a 24-hour front desk are all on hand, and free WiFi keeps you connected throughout your stay. A mandatory resort fee of USD 68.85 per accommodation, per night applies and covers fitness center access, housekeeping, in-room bottled water and coffee, an in-room safe, a newspaper, and pool access. Note that construction at a neighboring building may cause some noise, and the property is smoke-free and LGBTQ+ friendly.
