DK Eyewitness "Baccarat crystal chandeliers, Persian carpets, and French tapestries are just backdrops to the gracious service."

Fodor's "Popular among business travelers, this Hyatt is in the Golden Triangle area, about 10 minutes from the beach and the village of La Jolla."
DK Eyewitness "Post-Modern architect Michael Graves designed this Italian-style palace hotel. A large fitness spa and highly acclaimed restaurants are next door."
Star Service "This is a class act, a top-shelf commercial operation that draws a fair number of leisure travelers with its well-rounded recreational options." Full review
Gayot "Set in La Jolla's UTC/Golden Triangle sector, the Hyatt Regency Aventine is not near the beach or the mountains, but it is close to the mall and both central freeways."
BlackBook "This landmark holds court in the hustle-and-bustle of the Golden Triangle without losing its glitz."
