Overview
Though it might be the one of the oldest hotels in La Jolla, The Grande Colonial Hotel hides its age well. Guests describe the accommodations here as immaculate, as they are decorated in blues and yellows and equipped with down bedding and modern amenities such as LCD televisions, free Wi-Fi access and Keurig coffee makers. The property also includes an outdoor pool, and the on-site restaurant, NINE-TEN Restaurant & Bar, receives rave reviews for its farm-to-table cuisine. But according to recent visitors, it was The Grande Colonial's charm that convinced them to return in the future. Guests say that the customer service here was fantastic, and the ambiance felt relaxed, comfortable and unique. You'll find The Grande Colonial Hotel on Prospect Street, just a few blocks from the shore and about 13 miles north of San Diego. Beware that you'll have to shell out for parking, though, if you bring your own vehicle.

Each room is different. In some rooms golden-hued carpeting and bedcovers set against aquamarine walls reflect the sunlit scenery; other set a handsome tone with ochre, gold and brown palette.
With a central location in La Jolla, a heated outdoor pool, and an array of great services — including in-room massages, and daily turndown — this upscale historic boutique is a solid pick for a relaxing coastal getaway.
