In their January 2007 issues, two important
travel industry publications included The Lodge at Torrey Pines on their
lists of the world's best hotels. The Lodge made its debut on Travel +
Leisure Magazine's international "T + L 500" list and was hailed as "an
architectural gem" by the magazine's editors and reporters. Condé Nast
Traveler honored The Lodge with a position on its 13th Annual Gold List
of the World's Best 700 Hotels, Resorts, and Cruise Lines. Compiled from
a survey of the magazine's subscribers, the listing particularly noted
the resort's "appealing setting." The 2007 ZagatSurvey of America's Top Restaurants listed the A. R. Valentien restaurant in its annual guide with the restaurant scoring "high marks" among the top 5 restaurants in the San Diego region. The restaurant was praised as a "great getaway" with "superb" Californian cuisine and service that's "attentive from the moment you drive up." These honors echo warm accolades received
in the preceding year. The Summer 2006 issue of The
Robb Report listed The Lodge at Torrey Pines as one of
100 Best Places to Stay in 2006, citing the resort's "classic Craftsman
ambiance." "If time is the only true luxury," enthused Carol Brodie -
who, as Chief Luxury Officer for the Robb Report's parent company, knows
a thing or two about good living - "then the time spent at this heavenly
oasis was the most luxurious of all!" The Lodge at Torrey Pines is a tribute
to the California Craftsman Movement and is modeled after Greene & Greene's
famed Gamble and Blacker houses in Pasadena, California, two of the finest
examples of early 1900s Craftsman-style architecture. The Lodge features
170 spacious guest rooms, including 9 suites, more than 13,000 square
feet of meeting and banquet space, and a 9,500 square-foot spa. The Lodge
is adjacent to the Torrey Pines Golf Course and is within walking distance
of Torrey Pines State Reserve. # # #
