The Lodge at Torrey Pines, a brand-new hotel, is modeled on Arts and Crafts–style architecture firm Greene & Greene's early-twentieth-century masterworks, with a sandstone and shingle exterior and tree-size wooden beams inside. Guaranteed tee times at the famous eponymous golf course are a guest perk (doubles from $450; 11480 N. Torrey Pines Rd., La Jolla; 858-453-4420).
Hotel Parisi, just three years old, has 20 rooms and comes complete with on-site acupuncturists and custom-made walnut furniture (doubles from $275; 1111 Prospect St., La Jolla; 858-454-1511).
The Hotel del Coronado, a local landmark for 114 years (and the location where the movie Some Like It Hot was filmed), has just undergone a $55 million renovation (doubles from $250; 1500 Orange Ave., San Diego; 619-435-6611).
