Orli La Jolla offers a completely different approach to luxury hospitality. Opened in late 2022 inside a historic 1910-era landmark building, this property operates as a bespoke, 13-room boutique hotel. It blends the independence of a luxury vacation rental with the curated amenities of a high-end resort.

This unique approach recently earned Orli a prestigious Michelin Key, marking it as one of the most exceptional stays in California.

Located on Draper Avenue in The Village of La Jolla, the property sits beneath mature olive trees just one block from the ocean and provides an intimate, incredibly stylish retreat for travelers who value design and autonomy.

The highlights: Tech meets heritage

• Contactless luxury: There is no traditional front desk. Guests receive a digital key before arrival for a seamless, private check-in experience. A digital concierge is available 24/7 via text for local recommendations or room requests.
• Design-forward rooms: Each of the 13 rooms and suites is uniquely designed. Expect Paris-meets-California aesthetics, record players with curated vinyl collections, and Nespresso machines.
• The courtyard: The heart of the property is a private, Parisian-style courtyard designed by a renowned landscape architect. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

Local’s tip: Because Orli does not have an onsite restaurant, take advantage of its location. Walk two blocks to grab fresh pastries at a local bakery, bring them back to the courtyard and enjoy a quiet morning before the crowds arrive.

Making the most of your stay

Orli is positioned perfectly for walking, steps away from the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the historic La Jolla Recreation Center.

A short stroll down the hill takes you directly to The Children’s Pool for a morning swim or seal viewing. For dinner, you are surrounded by some of the most romantic restaurants in La Jolla.

Good to know:

• Parking: The hotel offers a limited number of dedicated parking spots for an additional fee. If those are booked, consult our La Jolla parking playbook for street parking strategies on Draper Avenue.
• Adult-focused: While children are welcomed, the quiet, curated atmosphere and lack of a pool make it much more suited for adult getaways.
• Shopping: You are just a quick walk from the best boutique shopping on Girard Avenue.
