The Lodge at Torrey Pines

The 22 Best Hotels in San Diego

"Modeled after the famed Gamble and Blacker houses of Pasadena, this cliffside Craftsman-style resort looms large. The decor is dark and heavy, with brick, stone, and wood beams. A hit with golfers and design geeks alike, this serene resort is spread across six acres but still manages to feel cozy. It's located on the 18th green of the South Course of the renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course, which hosted the US Open in 2008 and 2021. While the course is open to the public, guests get preferred tee times and access to special packages. The spa offers treatments featuring eco-friendly marine- and botanical-based products, and A.R. Valentien features seasonal fare." - Archana Ram, Beth Demmon
