Be sure to have a cocktail while gazing at the ocean in Le Sala Lobby Lounge, and stroll the tiered gardens in back.

DK Eyewitness "Since 1926, the “Pink Lady of La Jolla” has enchanted with its splendid Mediterranean ambience, exquisite decor, and ideal location on the cliffs above La Jolla Cove."
Rough Guide "This radiant pink favourite of Hollywood celebs in the 1920s is a slightly less glamorous spot today, but no less plush, with capacious rooms and suites and elaborate villas."
Michelin Guide "This 1926 landmark pastel-pink stucco palace is a statement of opulent beachside style. Palms surround the "Pink Lady of La Jolla," recognizable by its mosaic-tiled tower."
