"Not surprisingly, the scene at this hotel is full of young, beautiful people looking for a rocking good time ... needless to say, the Hard Rock delivers."

Be sure to have a cocktail while gazing at the ocean in Le Sala Lobby Lounge, and stroll the tiered gardens in back.

"Among its 116 rooms, the ones in the main building are rather compact... but villas are spacious and in any case the property wins for Old Hollywood romance."

"Since 1926, the “Pink Lady of La Jolla” has enchanted with its splendid Mediterranean ambience, exquisite decor, and ideal location on the cliffs above La Jolla Cove."
Rough Guide
"This radiant pink favourite of Hollywood celebs in the 1920s is a slightly less glamorous spot today, but no less plush, with capacious rooms and suites and elaborate villas."
