Experience the Jewel of Hospitality

Situated in the seaside Village of La Jolla and commanding views of the California coastline, the Grande Colonial offers classic European styling in the intimate setting of a boutique hotel. Located just 15 minutes north of downtown San Diego, the hotel is a historic beauty that honors its traditions yet offers contemporary amenities and services.

Showcasing a recently completed $8 million renovation, the hotel boasts 75 refurbished guest rooms and suites, as well as 18 brand new, extended-stay suites in two adjacent wings. All 93 rooms and suites are non-smoking and feature iPod docking clock-radios, 32" LCD TVs, Kashwere bathrobes, complimentary bottled water, free high-speed wired and wireless Internet access, daily newspaper and comfortable bed with goose-down comforter and pillows.

As part of the extensive renovation, each of the 75 guest rooms and suites in the main building has been completely refurbished. New draperies, bedding, wall coverings and carpet capture a vibrant, yet soothing, mood. Comfortable furnishings, enhanced and contemporary amenities and new artwork reflect La Jolla's priceless ocean views. Additionally, all of the original single-pane windows have been replaced with double-pane, screen-less windows significantly improving the energy efficiency, sound and insulation.

Also recently unveiled is the addition of 18 new, extended-stay suites in two adjacent wings: the Little Hotel by the Sea and Garden Terraces. Interior design reflects comfortable residential style with full kitchens in each unit and some with fireplaces. Select suites also feature fireplaces, oversized soaking tubs and showers with adjustable body jets and rain shower-heads. Guest staying in the new suites enjoy exclusive "club-level" benefits including free in-room refreshments, breakfast for two, valet parking and domestic telephone calls.

The hotel's award-winning restaurant, NINE-TEN, regularly receives rave reviews for its market-based Evolving California Cuisine menu. Having been named the "2008 Best Hotel Restaurant" restaurant in San Diego, NINE-TEN boasts nationally acclaimed chefs, "Evolving California Cuisine" and an award-winning wine list. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served indoors or on the sidewalk patio or ocean-view terrace. Guests also enjoy the NINE-TEN Bar, where they can snack on fresh olives and homemade chips while sampling martinis, wine and a vast beer selection.

Located 15 minutes from downtown San Diego and many world-class attractions, the Grande Colonial features a heated swimming pool, an ocean-view rooftop deck and loft, and private gardens, making the hotel a true retreat. Within walking distance are hundreds of shops, museums, galleries and restaurants renowned to the Village of La Jolla. La Jolla Cove and caves, known world-wide for scuba diving, snorkeling and ocean kayaking, are also steps away.

The hotel also boasts 5,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, ideal for weddings, meetings and other special events. Guests seeking diversion outside La Jolla are close to championship golf courses, the Stephen Birch Aquarium-Museum, San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Legoland and the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

With its ideal location, gracious service and newly renovated facilities, the Grande Colonial provides the ideal destination for vacation or business travelers to La Jolla, California.
