The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

The Inn at Rancho Sante Fe is the Palm Royale of the West Coast. A classic Inn that has been completed remodeled with every modern amenity (including a Dyson hairdryer!) The rooms are large and very well appointed. Our room included a large patio with a fireplace to enjoy in the evenings. Bing’s their bar makes fabulous cocktails! You feel like you’ve stepped back into a classic era before cell phones where the conversion is lively and the bartender can make anything you request. (Loved my Mojito!) Lilian’s their signature restaurant is fabulous for breakfast, lunch or dinner perched above a huge grass area where you can look down towards the charming Main Street of Rancho Sante Fe. This is a new MUST experience hotel. The perfect retreat for girls weekends, couples traveling with dogs (every breed and size welcome and treated like royalty) PICKELBALL, 4 brand new courts and a Spa that’s signature scent captures you from the moment you arrive. It was the perfect, 3 night hideaway from the heat of AZ! Can’t wait to return!! PS: For the man in your life the Saturday morning car show (Named Coffee and Cars) just steps from the front door can’t be missed! From Porsches to Corvettes even non car enthusiasts will enjoy this display of hardware.

The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is a true gem tucked away in the hills of San Diego County just a short drive inland from the coast. The Inn, as it is affectionately known, has been my go to place for a relaxing spa day. Having recently undergone a major renovation in honor of The Inn’s 100th year, the property is stunning. On this visit I indulged with both a classic European facial and a message at the Mila Moursi Spa with a little time in between treatments to enjoy the private courtyard. The courtyard is the perfect place to lounge alone or have a salad and glass of wine with friends after treatments. The Pear and Burrata salad is a great choice! The Mila Moursi Spa is an elevated spa experience, very professional and classic. Perfect for a day of pampering.

Such a lovely historic hotel, nestled up in the hills. We stayed in a cozy bungalow with a fireplace, super comfy bed and a Toto toilet (!). The rooms all have a little outdoor seating areas for morning coffee, and the staff will come around and set up the fire for you when you’re ready to settle in for the night. Cool bar, nice restaurant, and a great patio area for breakfast & lunch. I love the country-chic decor of the lobby. What I loved most about this place is the staff. Everyone, from the front desk to food service and cleaning crew, are all so kind and attentive - we really appreciated such personalized service, and look forward visiting again.

Had a wonderful time staying at The Inn! We went with family to celebrate my Mother-in-Laws milestone 80th Birthday. What a charming place, both rustic and elegant. All of the staff were excellent, attentive and helpful. The breakfasts and dinner were great, and we enjoyed time hanging out in the bar and on the patio. The rooms were clean, well appointed and cozy. I was able to enjoy a coffee from the coffee bar and read my book on the front veranda in beautiful CA fall weather. Landscape was serene and kept tidy. The town is just a short walk away for a change of scene. The front desk staff gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants in Encinitas and Del Mar. All in all a fantastic stay!

A Hidden Gem: The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe Our stay at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff made us feel truly welcome with their warm smiles and exceptional service. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism, setting the tone for a memorable visit. The dining experience was equally impressive. We enjoyed four meals at the restaurant during our stay, and each one was delightful. The dishes were beautifully prepared, showcasing fresh, local ingredients with creativity and finesse. If you have the chance, be sure to try the roasted chicken—it’s a standout! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was exquisite. The Inn itself is a masterpiece of charm and elegance. It captures the essence of historic character while offering all the contemporary comforts you could wish for. The property’s architecture and lush grounds create a serene atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle. It’s truly a place where history meets contemporary in perfect balance. We can’t recommend the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe highly enough. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a tranquil retreat, this gem will leave you enchanted and longing to return.

The interior design of the inn is exceptional. We stayed in a bungalow with a corner fireplace which we were happy to have. We drove to the LaJolla for an event and therefore didn’t try the restaurant or linger for breakfast the next morning. However, the inn offers early morning meditation and yoga, and the (substitute) instructor was fantastic! The matts and blocks were like new!
