The hotel's Tower Bar, which has indoor/outdoor seating along the boardwalk, and JRDN restaurant, serving contemporary steak and seafood (there's also an eight-seat sushi bar), are worth checking out whether you're staying here or not.

""A little bit of heaven in upscale Del Mar", steps from the beach and with "gorgeous" views of the Pacific, this "hip", "elegant" boutique is a "splurge" but "worth it"."
