Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Once the site of the Black family’s premier thoroughbred horse farm, Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa presides over 9.5 acres of coastal terrain in sunny La Jolla, California. The hotel pays homage to the setting’s early-California equestrian heritage everywhere from its Spanish colonial architecture to its landscape of gardens, courtyards, and outdoor fireplaces.

Low-slung adobe and brick buildings house the four-diamond facilities, which include a full-service spa and fitness center, heated courtyard pool and whirlpool, two dining venues, and 210 accommodations. Like everything at the property, the in-room amenities aim to nurture the senses. High-back reading chairs with leather ottomans, Italian linens, and plush comforters draped with equestrian blankets provide pampering counterparts to such thoughtful business features as complimentary wireless Internet access and work desks.

The Learning Center holds over 21,500 square feet of IACC-certified indoor conference space. It includes a 125-seat amphitheater, the nearly 6,000-square-foot La Jolla Ballroom, and executive boardrooms that seat VIP groups comfortably in ergonomically designed swivel chairs. An additional 8,000 square feet of outdoor space allows groups to take advantage of San Diego’s ever-agreeable climate.

Team building takes place during fun-filled activities like the Rod Iron Chef cooking challenge to the Build a Boat and Hope it Floats regatta. Informally, it takes place while enjoying the area’s wide assortment of recreation, including Torrey Pines Golf Course, Torrey Pines Nature Reserve, La Jolla and Del Mar beaches, SeaWorld, and San Diego’s many other year-round attractions.
