Located on the 18th hole of the world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course, high up on the cliffs of La Jolla, is a SoCal resort like none other. The Lodge at Torrey Pines continues to garner attention not only for its stunning location and championship golf, but for its distinctive spa treatments, farm-to-table restaurants, wedding and meeting services, and luxury accommodations. Their dedication to excellence has earned them the 2014 AAA Five Diamond award.

“This award is well known among sophisticated travelers as a reflection of the ‘Best of the Best’ among luxury properties,” said Ilsa Butler, Executive Vice President of The Lodge at Torrey Pines. “The accreditation process is rigorous and only those properties that achieve the highest level of service, luxury and amenities are privileged to boast Five Diamond status.”

Since its opening in 2002, The Lodge at Torrey Pines has earned the coveted AAA recognition, making this the 12th consecutive year being named “Best of the Best.” AAA’s process of selecting properties to award involves visiting 1,200 hotels and restaurant per week, evaluating the aesthetics and all aspects of service, with only 0.3 percent of those 59,000 properties receiving the Five Diamond title.

“This award is not just about our luxurious amenities. It is about the caring and personal service--going above and beyond the norm, our staff consistently passes along to our customers,” said Dan Fullen, General Manager of The Lodge at Torrey Pines. “That exceptional commitment is what earns us the Five Diamond designation, year after year.”
