L'Auberge Del Mar

An Insider's Take
'This oceanfront gem sits on legendary Del Mar beach where "the surf meets the turf" - just steps from the famous Del Mar Racetrack where Bing Crosby and Hollywood elite once gathered.' What's Special? L'Auberge Del Mar occupies prime real estate on one of Southern California's most coveted stretches of sand. The hotel's Spanish Colonial architecture pays homage to the area's 1920s resort heritage, while the adjacent Del Mar Racetrack - operating since 1937 - still hosts "Where the Turf Meets the Surf" racing seasons that draw celebrities and locals alike.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book during racing season (July-September) for the ultimate Del Mar experience, but reserve well in advance as the town transforms into Southern California's most exclusive summer playground.
Don't Miss The nightly bonfires on Del Mar's pristine beach (seasonal), a morning surf session at one of San Diego's most consistent breaks, and the Thursday summer concerts at the Del Mar Racetrack. The nearby Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve offers hiking trails with dramatic coastal views just 10 minutes north.
