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.

DK Eyewitness "Elegantly appointed rooms are in keeping with the hotel’s European ambience."
