It's bittersweet, writing a post-trip recap of somewhere you love so genuinely. Too quick a trip, my 2 nights with Orli in La Jolla, San Diego were so perfect that I was truly sad to leave. Here's a rundown of what makes Orli so special.
Featuring 13 bespoke guest rooms, every detail at Orli screams intention. Not a corner of this transformed 1910-era private residence is designed without careful consideration.
Designated a historical landmark by the San Diego Historical Resources Board in 1983, Orli maintains a rich, authentic style while tapping into modern amenities to ensure each individual guest has a comfortable and tailored stay.
A virtual-style concierge allows for a seamless check-in and check-out, with access to kind & helpful hotel staff at the click of a button. Orli does a phenomenal job combining modern technology and contactless travel expectations without sacrificing customer support.
I stayed in The Wing, a spacious, luxurious room designed for two.
Equipt with a working record player, a mini-fridge stocked with water, a Nespresso machine, Turkish cotton robes, and an Apple TV, this room is ideal for the traveling couple looking for luxury and modern amenities they would find in their own home.
The best part? Orli is dog-friendly.
Second best part? Self-serve kombucha and cold brew ON TAP just steps from The Wing's entrance to the lobby.
Orli is centrally located in the heart of the popular seaside village of La Jolla. Under 20 minutes from the San Diego airport, Orli is easily accessible yet removed enough from the hustle of downtown. In La Jolla, you'll find numerous cafes, trendy little shops, picturesque coastlines, and Michelin-starred restaurants, all within walking distance of Orli.
If you're an animal lover, checking out La Jolla Cove or The Children's Pool is ESSENTIAL. According to La Jolla Seal Conservatory, you'll see the most seals between the last week of April and first week of June, however, I visited at the end of February and the beach was covered with seals and their pups!
In summary, you can count on Orli to meet not only your customer service expectations but to go above and beyond to ensure you have a comfortable, tailored, and luxurious stay. Orli's staff are some of the most dedicated, genuine individuals I've had the pleasure of staying with. Their passion for Orli is evident in the care of their guests and the property. Thank you, Orli, for exceeding our expectations. We cannot wait to come back!!
