The Lodge at Torrey Pines
City/Region: San Diego/La Jolla
Overlooking the world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course with distant views
of the Pacific Ocean, The Lodge at Torrey Pines is a AAA Five Diamond La
Jolla hotel located just 15 miles north of downtown San Diego. The Lodge,
site of the 2008 and 2021 U.S. Open Championships, pays homage to
the Craftsman era and showcases 169 rooms and suites that reflect San
Diego’s stress-free lifestyle while providing all the comfort and amenities you
need. The resort is designed to blend in with the adjacent Torrey Pines
State Reserve, which features golden sandstone formations and rare Torrey
pine trees. A member of the California Green Lodging Program, The Lodge
is home to The Spa at Torrey Pines and A.R. Valentien, a signature farm-to-
table restaurant.
With its post-and-beam construction, expansive spaces, respect for the
natural landscape and integration of indoor/outdoor living, The Lodge at
Torrey Pines pays homage to the California Craftsman style of architecture of
the early 1900s. The Craftsman style was an offshoot of the Arts & Crafts Move-
ment, itself a response to the Victorian excesses of ornamentation and pat-
terns, which emphasized clean lines, open spaces and rough hewn materials.
The Lodge is modeled after the Gamble and Blacker houses in Pasa-
dena, California, two of the best examples of early 1900s Craftsman-style
architecture by Greene & Greene. Arriving guests are greeted at The
Lodge’s grand porte-cochère by doormen attired in kilted Scottish dress.
Inside are 170 guest rooms including eight suites, more than 13,000 square
feet of indoor meeting and banquet space, a 9,500 square-foot full-service
spa and two restaurants including A.R. Valentien which serves contemporary
California cuisine, and expansive public rooms with fireplaces, large mantel-
pieces, overstuffed couches, comfortable leather chairs and amazing views
of the Torrey Pines Golf Course and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Behind The
Lodge is a heated pool with relaxing poolside cabanas, whirlpool, croquet
lawn, and a large terrace with chaise lounges for basking in the Southern
California sun.
