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.
Fodor's "This white wedding cake–style hotel in the heart of La Jolla village has ocean views and charming European details." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Elegantly appointed rooms are in keeping with the hotel’s European ambience."
Rough Guide "The cosy but elegant rooms have boutique furnishings and free wi-fi, and there’s a handful of larger suites, and excellent package deals."
Star Service "Located in the heart of town, an easy walk to the Museum of Modern Art and the Cove, this updated Teddy Roosevelt-era treasure built in 1913 is an area landmark, and not just for history buffs." Full review

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."

DK Eyewitness "For an ultimate splurge, check into one of the bayside villas with views across San Diego Bay."
BlackBook "Located on the tip of the Silver Strand, this Loews locale has always been a staycation destination."
Jetsetter "Set on a 15-acre peninsula across the bay from San Diego, the 439-room hotel transforms your daily to-do list into nonstop splashing in the resort’s three sprawling pools." Full review
Gayot "Far enough from downtown for tranquility, yet close enough to cab in for nightlife, Loews combines the best of what San Diego has to offer."
Time Out "Another beauty by the Coronado bay, Loews has prime waterfront real estate." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Offers a more off-the-beaten path option that’s five miles from the downtown hubbub yet still opens up to views of the bay and San Diego skyline. The design screams “vacation!"." Full review
