The Lodge at Torrey Pines

Ten minutes north of La Jolla proper, you'll find this triumphant Craftsman-style creation at the edge of the Torrey Pines Golf Course. The only AAA 5-diamond property within the San Diego city limits, the Lodge brims with clinker-brick masonry (a style of building using darker or oddly shaped bricks in a wall), art glass windows and doors, and Stickley furniture. Even the least expensive rooms are an unstinting 520 square feet and lavished with Tiffany-style lamps, period wallpaper, framed Hiroshige prints, and lots of wood accents; views face a courtyard carefully landscaped to mimic the rare seaside environment just beyond the hotel grounds. More expensive rooms overlook the golf course and the ocean in the distance; most of these have balconies, fireplaces, and giant bathrooms. The 9,500-square-foot spa specializes in treatments utilizing coastal sage and other local plants, and there's an elegant pool area with an elevated Jacuzzi sheltered under a gazebo. An excellent restaurant named after painter A. R. Valentien features top-quality seasonal offerings.
