La Jolla has always been one of my favorite communities in San Diego! After all, what's not to like about beautiful beaches, unique cliff top views of the Pacific, the cutest downtown with unique boutiques and delicious restaurants. All I needed for my recent visit was the perfect place to stay - enter the Hotel La Jolla!

The Hotel La Jolla, a Curio Collection hotel by Hilton couldn't have been more of a perfect home away from home for my little excursion. Situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, just a short less than 10 minute stroll from the lovely La Jolla Shores beach and park, and a quick drive to the lively shops and restaurants in downtown, you really can't ask for a better location.
The very first thing you'll notice at this lovely boutique Hotel is the modern yet comfy ambiance in the lobby with a cozy fireplace to warm up with on those chilly beach evenings.
The staff was also beyond friendly and extremely helpful at explaining all the amenities and getting us situated.
Off the lobby, you also can't miss the inviting tropical pool area and lovely Hiatus outdoor lounge with comfy couches to grab a drink while chatting with friends or pretending to work from home. ;)
The rooms are outfitted with plush comfortable bedding, large big-screen plasma TV's, and if you're lucky to get one of the balcony rooms facing the ocean, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking ocean views between the palm trees from the furnished balconies.
This beautifully appointed restaurant features floor to ceiling windows making it the perfect venue to watch the sun set over the Pacific or see the lovely lights in the evening. Tailor made tables jut up against the windows to give you the perfect view while enjoying your meal.
Even with the stellar view, the food at Cusp is truly the star. Executive Chef Ingrid Funes Shelton has crafted a delicious menu that changes seasonally, and is filled with creative dishes from shareable appetizers to perfectly seasoned fresh local halibut to a mouthwatering ribeye steak topped with the yummiest chimichurri sauce.
The craft cocktails and extensive wine list were also completely on point at Cusp and the adjacent bar area. You won't want for much at Cusp!
Trust me, the next time you find yourself in La Jolla, be sure to check out Cusp for brunch, lunch or dinner!
The Hotel La Jolla is also situated in a great location to explore the rest of San Diego as it's only a few freeway stops from Mission Beach, Sea World and only a little further drive to Balboa Park and downtown San Diego. You can venture into all the tourist areas during the day and retreat to the relaxing vibes of La Jolla after a fun filled day. Sheer perfection. :)
The Hotel La Jolla is located at 7955 La Jolla Shores in La Jolla. You can book your stay at the Hotel La Jolla directly on their website: https://www.hotellajolla.com/
You can also book your dinner with a view at Cusp directly on Open Table.
