"Perched atop cliffs adjacent to a major coastal nature reserve, this stately AAA Five Diamond resort blends a woodsy mountain-lodge aesthetic with sweeping ocean views and direct proximity to championship golf, including the Torrey Pines course. Guests enjoy luxurious Craftsman-style rooms with Egyptian cotton linens and marble bathrooms, a sparkling pool, complimentary town car service and a full-service spa; however, parts of the property are under construction through early 2025 and many local sights require a short drive." - Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg is a writer and editor with over 15 years of experience specializing in travel, lifestyle, home, parenting, and reviews.

"This classic burger is an ode to Americana, honoring the simplicity of using the right ingredients with the perfect balance of accouterments. The patties are made from Niman Ranch chuck ranch, topped with lettuce, tomato, onions, and housemade mayo, and sandwiched between a sesame bun. This industry favorite can be ordered at the property’s three dining venues: the Grill at Torrey Pines, the hotel bar, and A.R. Valentien by request." - Eater Staff
"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

"Set atop the cliffs of Torrey Pines State Beach in La Jolla, The Lodge offers views of the ocean as well as the Torrey Pines Golf Course. With its post-and-beam construction, The Lodge is modeled after Pasadena’s Gamble and Blacker houses, exemplary of early-1900s Craftsman architecture." - Travel + Leisure Editors
