NEW YEAR BEGINS WITH PRESTIGIOUS LA JOLLA, California (February 2009) - As the new year begins, The Lodge at Torrey Pines® celebrates an impressive array of prestigious awards that affirm its position among the world's premier luxury resort destinations. The coveted AAA Five Diamond Award, one of the travel industry's most prestigious honors, has been bestowed upon The Lodge for the seventh consecutive year. The Lodge remains among the top tier hotel properties in North America, sharing the Five Diamond category with outstanding properties including The Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel, The St. Regis in New York, and The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas. A. R. Valentien was listed in the 2009 Zagat Survey of America's Top Restaurants among the ten restaurants in the San Diego region. The restaurant was also praised in the 2008 Zagat Survey, making it the third year in a row A.R. Valentien was listed. The restaurant received "high marks" and was praised as a "great getaway" with "superb" Californian cuisine and service that is "attentive from the moment you drive up." The Lodge's most recent acclaims come from the January
issues of two important travel industry publications that included The
Lodge at Torrey Pines® on their lists of the world's best hotels
for the third year in a row. In 2009 The Lodge was named among Travel
+ Leisure Magazine's international "T + L 500 World's Best Hotels"
list. Also in 2008, the hotel was listed among the Top 100 Hotels in the
Continental US and Canada; hailed as "an architectural gem"
by the magazine's editors and reporters. Condé Nast Traveler
honored The Lodge with a position in 2008 and 2009 on their Annual Gold
List of the World's Best Places to Stay. Compiled from a survey of the
magazine's subscribers, the listing particularly noted the resort's "appealing
setting." In November 2008, The Lodge ranked among Condé Nast Traveler's TOP 50 Mainland U.S. Resorts in The Best in the World Readers' Choice Awards. It is a great honor for The Lodge to have the distinction of being positioned alongside some of the most established and time-honored resorts in North America. 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 eight 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.
