LA JOLLA, Calif. (April 22, 2024) – Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa [1],
an award-winning Noble House Hotels & Resorts [3] property in the San
Diego area owned by Pebblebrook Hotel Trust [4], today announced the
completion of its property-wide, $26M renovation, and redevelopment as it
celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. A nod to its heritage with
historic touches masterfully blended with modern design, Estancia La
Jolla’s refreshed experience includes elevated guest rooms and suites,
a new lobby and pool complex and upgraded meeting and group spaces
designed by the award-winning masterminds at EDG [5].
“Our 20th anniversary is not just a milestone but a launchpad into the
future of Estancia La Jolla,” said Eric Jenkins, general manager of
Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa.” This renovation represents our
commitment to both our heritage and our forward-looking vision, ensuring
we continue to offer an unparalleled guest experience in the storied La
Jolla community.
Refined Luxury in Equestrian Inspired Guest Rooms and Suites
Estancia La Jolla’s redesigned guest rooms are cohesive
juxtaposition of then and now, elevating the property’s rich
equestrian heritage with luxurious modern accents to complement a unique
sense of place. Whimsical matte floor tiling inspired by Mexican
encaustic cement tile and a color palette of earth tones and pops of
color is complemented by rich wood furniture, finishes, and textured
fabrics. Banquette seating draped with leather strap accents recall
early handmade saddlery and create space for gathering while stately
guest beds boast old-world headboards with nailhead trim. Details
including custom wall coverings, wood dressers, and leather-fronted
bedside tables add to the tailored feeling of each room, while
technology upgrades like wireless chargers and enhanced entertainment
through access to major streaming services further elevates the in-room
experience. Bathrooms are tucked behind sliding barn doors and boast
luxurious marble countertops, modern amenities, and new tile-lined,
walk-in showers, with select accommodations offering spacious soaking
tubs complemented by accents of hacienda-style design. Each room also
offers a breathtaking view of the property’s enchanting botanical
grounds with select accommodations boasting spacious balconies to bask
in the Southern California sunlight.
The Trading Post Café & Bar: A Centerpiece for Connection
Estancia La Jolla’s expanded and reconfigured spacious lobby serves as
the heart and soul of the property, offering a luxurious yet inviting
setting for connection and relaxation. Blending rustic charm and warm
sophistication, the space offers cozy fireplaces and an intimate outdoor
patio complemented by the property’s signature lush landscape. The
lobby bar offers a selection of small plates and classic cocktails with
a twist that celebrates and elevates the flavors of Baja California and
Napa Valley is set against the backdrop of rustic elegance and live music. The
bar will also host a regular happy hour and rotating Friday tasting
activations that celebrate the best of San Diego. The Trading Post
Café, an elevated casual concept, highlights locally sourced
ingredients, including honey from the on-property apiary, and artisanal
craftsmanship through a curated selection of coffees, teas, breakfast
items and bespoke gifts.
Sunshine Meets Stylish Sophistication at The Palma Bar & Grill
Laid-back elegance, craft cocktails, and flavorful bites unite to create
the oasis known as The Palma, Estancia La Jolla’s entirely reimagined
poolside oasis. Hacienda-inspired design with gentle earth tones and
vibrant pops of color combined with the gentle SoCal breeze and sound of
the whistling palms create the ideal setting for a day under the SoCal
sun. Plush, luxurious cabanas complete with curated VIP packages add an
element of luxury and exclusivity while a rotating calendar of events
including weekend poolside sipping ensures a consistently vibe-forward
setting.
Elevated Meeting, Group, and Event Venues
Estancia La Jolla offers nearly 47,000 square feet of customizable
indoor and outdoor event space that fits the needs of varying groups and
event types. Ushering in the next era of excellence in group
experiences, Estancia completed a floor-to-ceiling revitalization of its
6,864-square-foot La Jolla Ballroom, the grand dame of the property’s
indoor venues. Upgrades including textured wall treatments, modern
lighting and whimsical flooring elevate the space, which showcases
timeless elegance while offering a vibrant, inviting atmosphere. The
property also elevated its signature outdoor venue offerings with the
revitalization of five existing lawn spaces and the addition of the
1,000-square-foot Mariposa Lawn, located adjacent to the Learning
Theater surrounded by botanicals and lush greenery.
Earth-Positive Enhancements and Amenities
Estancia La Jolla’s lawn revitalization project has reduced the amount
of irrigation required for grounds maintenance, thoughtfully elevating
the property’s dedication to sustainable travel. As part of its
corporate social responsibility efforts, Estancia La Jolla partnered
with Alvéole [6] to introduce an apiary to aid with native pollination
and ultimately create a sustainable source of honey and an educational
opportunity for guests. Estancia La Jolla is also home to herbs and
butterfly gardens that are open to guests, with herbs grown in
recipes at each of the property’s food and beverage outlets.
In celebration of the completion of the property-wide renovation,
