Erholsame Tage in San Diego
Pros:

Ruhe und Weite der Anlage (durch den anliegenden Golfplatz). An die Art und Craft Movement (Greene & Greene) angelehnte Gestaltung des Hotels. Landschaftsarchitektonische Gestaltung des Innenhofes, die dem Zimmer und auf der Terrasse Privatheit vermittelte. Außerdem haben wir unsere Feuerschale geliebt. Das Hotel lag gut zwischen San Diego Downtown und den State Park, in dem man gut die Küste und am Strand entlang wandern kann. Sehr freundliches und umsichtiges Personal.

Cons:

Nichts

If you don’t play golf I do not recommend staying here
Pros:

The view
The guys out front welcoming you wearing their kilts

Cons:

The restaurant was 10 minutes walk from the room
Front desk staff were arrogant and unhelpful
This is a golf club trying to offer a hotel service, but it is basically just a golf club for middle aged white men.

Such a memorable Easter Dinner! 🤍
Pros:

We had such a wonderful experience at The Grill at Torrey Pines, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible server, Joshua. His service was truly impeccable—thoughtful, attentive, and refreshingly honest about every dish on the menu. He guided us so well that we ended up loving every single thing we ordered.

What really stood out was how effortlessly he anticipated our needs and went above and beyond at every turn. His knowledge of both the food and drinks was exceptional, and his recommendations were consistently spot-on. Every detail felt intentional, and his level of care made the entire evening feel seamless and elevated.

Joshua made our dining experience genuinely memorable. We left feeling so well taken care of, and we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you for such an outstanding evening!

Wonderful, relaxing weekend stay
Pros:

Lots to do, everyone goes above and beyond service, comfortable beds, and accommodations for everyone. The spa was amazing.

Cons:

I was not made aware of having to pay for parking during booking. I was grateful they waived my parking fees for celebrating special occasion that weekend.

Amazing team!
Pros:

I have stayed at The Lodge at Torrey Pines a number of times for business, but this time my wife and I decided to stay here as our original plans for vacation in Mexico had to be diverted. I have always had a great experience here, but I will say this last time has left an impression on both me and my wife. The bar adjacent to the AR Valentine restaurant has the best team out of any luxury hotel or resort I have ever lodged at. Savanah took care of us each night we went in for drinks and small bites and she was absolutely amazing. She was very personable, a joy to talk to, gave great recommendations on both the menu and places to visit while in San Diego. She made the entire stay such a delight for us. The rest of the bar team was just as hospitable, we truly cannot wait to come back to visit again soon. Thank you so much

Experience Tee'd Up at Luxurious Golf & Spa
Pros:

On a business trip (4 nights). Suite was luxurious (rm 521/523) with comfortable king bed,2 baths,sofa, dining table, fireplaces in each room and a balcony with unmatchable view (see photos). Service and cleanliness and responsiveness were white glove including in-room dining service & one minor maintenance need. Outstanding Coffee bar for early risers behind Lobby (Floor 2 ). 2 restaurants - both walkable from room - one casual great for breakfast or lunch, one upscale for a special delicious evening meal. In between, you can sit down in lounge area of AJ's and order off a scaleddown menu. Walk to golf and hiking . Great pool lounge area. Access to spa daily with room key (sauna, aromatherapy room, napping room with fireplace, lockers, showers) and workout room ... get there before the other avids as it is a bit close) but always accessible and clean. Bar is well tended, a celebration, and can be loud so don't book those tables for an intimate dinner at AJs. Only note on our room: if you are looking for quiet, I would suggest overlooking the central courtyard rather than the golf - there are often events hosted on the green overlooking the course - didn't bother me but definitely more lively.

Cozy and Charming
Pros:

The Lodge is such a special place. It is a stunning craftsman built hotel surrounded by hiking trails and golf courses. It is a true sanctuary.

The staff is warm and welcoming from when you pull up to the front of the hotel with valet and bellmen, to check-in, and throughout the property and restaurants.

We LOVE staying in the hotel as all of the rooms have been cozy and comfortable. It is always a treat when we stay in a Palisades Room with fireplace and balcony.

Mara, the Front Desk Manager, is exceptional. She understands Hospitality and how to make a guest feel appreciated. Mara has gone above and beyond to make us, guests, feel appreciated and comfortable during our stays. We have already booked our next stay!

Added perks are that the hotel is dog-friendly and have destination EV chargers.

Initially, the only challenge may be finding your way through the hotel and to the amenities and restaurants, etc. It is easy once you learn the levels as the hotel is built on a hill.

So excited to return to The Lodge next month!

Fine Hotels and Resorts booking expectations
Pros:

Amex FHR: Know before you go:
My room upgrades were denied, and overall, the property lacks a true luxury feel. If you are sensitive to smells, be aware that this is an extremely dog-friendly hotel; unfortunately, there was a noticeable stench of urine throughout. All 4 in our party had immediate congestion that cleared after we left and we questioned if there was mold.

The rooms are not at all plush. The bathrobes felt like cardboard and are well overdue for replacement. While the sparse wood furniture is beautiful, the room lacks soft touches—upholstered headboards (to prevent bruised shins) and comfy chairs by the fireplace would bring it in line with the Pebble Beach standard. The carpet is worn, the shower tile had mildew stains, the bathtub is yucky and there were no luxury extras like toothbrushes, razors and makeup remover toilettes. We found the 2 restaurants only ok. We booked both a Reserve View and a Fire Pit room; for the price point, I would skip this property as there are lots of Fine Hotels and Resort options in Southern California.

One of the most beautiful stays I have had in a while.
Pros:

The staff was above and beyond exceptional. Rooms were very clean. Grounds were beautiful. I have zero complaints other than I wish I would have been notified I wasn’t going to have a balcony. I thought I was and that was the only (slight) let down. We dined at both restaurants and found the staff and food to be amazing

Cons:

I didn’t like leaving. I wanted to stay longer

Like Downton Abbey with cellphones
Pros:

I say it every Christmas when we're here: this place is like Downton Abbey with cellphones. The Lodge is a beautiful, Craftsman-style hotel still run by the Evans family. The staff's attention to detail is everywhere from the (real) Christmas trees to our suite to the food. Grateful to be here.
