Our favorites are the gracious suites with window seats that overlook the Scripps Park's palms and the sea.
Concierge "The casual, understated elegance of the Grande Colonial hotel... lies somewhere between the buttoned-up La Valencia and the chic Hotel Parisi."

If it's prime Pacific views you're after, ask for an ocean-facing room on the upper floors of the main hotel.

Any rooms with a water view is a safe bet, though the corner units are worth requesting.
Gayot "Right down the street from La Valencia, The Grande Colonial La Jolla is just as charming with more spacious guest rooms and finer dining."
BlackBook "Smack dab in precious La Jolla village, this yellow hotel is an icon. Its signature restaurant, Nine-Ten, is one of the city’s finest."
