The Lodge at Torrey Pines

Contact

Location Perched upon the dramatic coastline of Southern California with a stunning backdrop of rugged cliffs, the rolling Pacific and soul-stirring sunsets; The Lodge at Torrey Pines is located in La Jolla, one of the most sophisticated resort towns on the Southern California Coast. The hotel occupies six and one-half acres immediately adjacent to the 18th green of the famed Torrey Pines Golf Course, with holes three and four being the most picturesque. The Torrey Pines State Reserve, a beloved California State Park with beaches, golden cliffs and forests of torrey pine - the rarest native pine in the U.S. - is but a short walk away. The Lodge is a 20-minute drive from downtown San Diego and the San Diego International Airport.

The Lodge is prominently situated adjacent to the 18th hole of the world-famous South Course of the Torrey Pines Golf Course, a Rees Jones beauty that is the site of the Buick Invitational each February and will host the U.S. Open in 2008. The 7,607-yard South Course is open to the public and operated by the independent Torrey Pines Club Corporation. The Lodge offers hotel guests guaranteed tee times and special golf packages. The golf pro shop, driving range, cart rental and golf school are also adjacent to The Lodge.

The Lodge's signature restaurant, A.R. Valentien, features fresh, innovative California cuisine served in a breathtaking setting overlooking the golf course and Pacific coastline. Executive Chef Jeff Jackson uses only the best local provisions, and the menu changes daily depending upon what's offered at local farmers' markets, as well as from other local growers, ranchers and fishermen. Dishes are prepared with minimal handling and in simple combinations to let inherent textures and flavors shine through.

The restaurant's wine list features California wines exclusively, including a variety of boutique wineries from throughout the state.

A.R. Valentien takes its name from Albert Robert Valentien, an early 20th-century Impressionist and one of San Diego's greatest artists, and features one of the largest collections of his early works in ceramics, watercolors and oils. Like The Lodge itself, the 90-seat restaurant is a tribute to Southern California heritage and Craftsman architecture, as well as an elegant setting for intimate dining.

Casual diners can enjoy breakfast, lunch and healthful light snacks at The Grill and The Bar, as well as at The Lodge's two comfortable lounges.
