For a business hotel, Hyatt Regency La Jolla makes a grand impression in this affluent seaside community. The property has an idyllic outdoor pool area surrounded by cabanas and fire pits. The numerous on-site eateries are pricey, but the Pacific Rim cuisine offered is no ordinary chain hotel grub. The hotel also has two tennis courts and a 24-hour fitness center. The meeting facilities here are busy and even the rooms cater to company travelers, with serious work desks but no balconies or dressers in sight.

Scene
Golden Triangle complex with classic, corporate interiors
This 16-story suburban tower is part of the Aventine restaurant and shopping complex in San Diego's Golden Triangle district. With the complex designed by architect Michael Graves, the La Jolla's grounds blend right into the shopping center. The hotel's pink and white marble clad interiors give it a classy, timeless look with welcome accents like mod ottomans and miniature lamps lining the walls. Striped sofas allow guests to get cozy on a wooden enclosed deck. But the hotel’s wide convention-style halls and corporate seminar spaces are decidedly business-oriented and thus may not be ideal for guests looking to indulge in a more playful stay.
Location
Adjacent to the Aventine shopping and restaurant complex
Located right on busy La Jolla Village
Drive, Hyatt Regency La Jolla is within walking distance of numerous
restaurants in the Aventine complex. The property is also within easy
driving distance of La Jolla Shores' shopping, art galleries, and eateries.
The University of California at San Diego and Scripps Research Institute are
nearby as well. It's a 15- to 20-minute drive south to the downtown San
Diego area and 10 minutes southwest to the nearest (La Jolla Shores) beach.
Expect 20-minute drives to the San Diego Zoo, the famous Gaslamp Quarter, and
San Diego International Airport.
Rooms
Business-oriented units with big flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and work desks
The 417 sparsely decorated rooms here
are designed primarily with business travelers in mind. Muted blue and gray
tones give a sharp, clean look with some of the most minimalist decor you'll
find in a big chain hotel. There are no cabinets or dressers or any drawers to
speak of; in fact, standard rooms have little furniture beside thatched
suitcase benches and dedicated work desks with accompanying ergonomic roller
chairs. Bedside tables and floating shelves provide extra spaces for
belongings. Some king-sized bed rooms add single sitting chairs and all units
have flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and coffeemakers. Mini-fridges
are absent, but may be available upon request. Updated bathrooms have either
shower/tub combos or walk-in showers, both with rainfall showerheads and colorful,
iridescent tiles that add welcome sparkle.
Features
Large outdoor pool, fitness center, and expansive meeting spaces
The hotel's most leisurely spot is its outdoor pool area with a whirlpool and junior Olympic-sized heated pool surrounded by sun loungers and cabanas that have their own ceiling fans. More outdoor lounge spaces with sculptural fire pits sprawl out from there. Inside, the hotel has a 1,300-square-foot fitness center, with Life Fitness cardio and strength equipment and an outdoor area for yoga and stretching. The facility is free for guests and open 24-hours. Two tennis courts are also on hand.As a business seminar and conference center, the hotel has 42,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space that include two huge ballrooms, the largest of which can hold up to 500 people. A 24-hour business center has four computers with printers and free Internet -- the only guaranteed free web access here, as Wi-Fi requires a fee.
All-Inclusive / Food
Multiple on-site dining options along with an exclusive lounge
The La Jolla has several
on-site dining options, with even more eateries found at the adjacent restaurant
complex. The hotel's own Barcino Grill covers American standards and
offers a breakfast buffet, while Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse does
traditional cuts and seafood. The well-regarded Cafe Japengo wins
consistent awards for its interesting mix of Pacific Rim cuisine and sushi. A
dedicated watering hole, Michael’s Lounge, has a full bar, pool tables, and
outdoor patio seating. For java and quick to-go options, the general store
serves Starbucks coffee along with sandwiches and snacks. Finally, the
Hyatt's Regency Club is an upper-floor concierge lounge that serves
continental breakfast and evening snacks, but it's only for members or upgraded
guests.
