If flying, La Jolla is about a 20-25 minute drive from the San Diego International Airport. As La Jolla is a super walkable city, we do not recommend renting a car. If you wish to venture around restaurants, shopping and activities are a walk away or a cheap/fast Uber or Lyft.
We have a room block at the wonderful Empress Hotel! This is walking distance from both the wedding and the after party. We highly recommend booking here as it is a rate of $275 + $25.00 destination fee which is competitive for the area/this time of year. The destination fee includes: Valet Parking, Daily Breakfast, Wi-Fi Internet Access, Beach Towels, Chairs, and Umbrella’s upon availability, Access to their 24-Hour Fitness Center, 24- Hour Marketplace, And daily afternoon refreshments in the lobby.
The rate is for 2 days and 2 nights, however they offer a courtesy extension of the contracted rate 2 days pre and 2 days post the contracted block as long as they have availability. If interested in extending your stay, you will need to book the contracted dates and THEN call the hotel directly with your confirmation number and request this extension, the code is only programmed for the contracted dates and will not work if the you select dates outside the contracted block.
