The Only Four Diamond Hotel in the Village of La Jolla

Amidst the pristine beaches and regal bluffs of Southern California’s most beautiful coastal village, the Grande Colonial hotel has been welcoming guests to La Jolla since 1913. Completely modernized, yet faithful to its storied past, this intimate boutique hotel hearkens back to a quieter, more dignified era, when travel meant something special and personalized guest service was a hallmark of every stay.

Nine-Ten Restaurant

Led by award-winning, nationally-recognized chef Jason Knibb, NINE-TEN offers the perfect combination of sophistication and casual elegance and an ideal location along La Jolla’s lively Prospect Street. Recognized with a Michelin “Plate Distinction” honor, NINE-TEN’s globally-inspired, locally-sourced cuisine features the best of the harvest from local artisans where products are selected daily for the restaurant’s seasonal menus. Special prix fixe menus are available and feature matching wines from an extensive Wine Spectator-awarded cellar. Dine indoors or al fresco on our sidewalk patio or back terrace with peek views of the Pacific Ocean. Opened in July of 2001, the restaurant today continues to celebrate two decades as one of San Diego’s pioneer ‘farm-to-table’ restaurants.
