LA JOLLA, CA (April 27, 2004) -- Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa
Offering meeting participants the best of both worlds, the 25,000 square foot Learning Retreat at the new Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa weaves state-of-the-art technology into a collection of outdoor patios, charming courtyards and garden fountains. For an afternoon break, attendees will breathe freely as they step out of their meeting rooms into the open-air loggias, lush, sunny gardens and manicured lawns that encompass the entire property. Formerly the historic Black Family Horse Farm, the $60 million Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is located on 10 acres across from UCSD's Eleanor Roosevelt College, adjacent to the renowned Salk Institute and close to Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation and the Neurosciences Institute.
The Learning Retreat is an aesthetically refreshing environment for business meetings, helping attendees to renew focus, share ideas and gain new energy. Built to the standards of the Independent Association of Conferences & Conventions (IACC), the Learning Retreat features everything from a 6,000 square foot social ballroom and 125-seat amphitheater to multiple sized executive spaces and a top of the line business center, complete with a personal office for the meeting planner. The meeting facilities are superbly equipped with ergonomic seating, advanced networking and AV technology: Cat 5-e wireless communication, high speed wireless internet access, fully equipped A/V systems and fiber optic connections to UCSD.
“Our meeting solutions allow the event planner to focus on the content of the conference rather than the details of the meeting”, says Barbara Piagari, Director of Sales and Marketing, “ With the unique vision of our talented staff, every event is customized to fit individual needs.”
The Complete Meeting Package includes such essentials as a deluxe guestroom and designated areas for continuous refreshment breaks during the day. The dedicated dining area, The Grande Room, offers a full breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. Each package is simplified, combining conference-related charges into one easy-to-budget cost per attendee. All meeting room rentals, sales tax and gratuity are included. Skilled technicians provide proficient and creative programming of the dynamic audio and visual equipment.
Meeting attendees will discover several enticing options when they are ready to
retreat from the retreat.” The 6,000 square foot Spa at Estancia pampers guests with eight luxurious treatment rooms, exclusive men's and women's facilities with separate whirlpools and a fitness center complete with advanced equipment and personal training.
Golf enthusiasts are encouraged to try their game at one of the two Torrey Pines Golf Courses, home of the annual PGA Buick Invitational. Those with a more adventurous nature are encouraged to visit the trails of the Torrey Pines Nature Reserve, one of the wildest stretches of land on the Southern California coast or soar above the majestic cliffs and awe-inspiring Pacific Ocean at the Gliderport, all located minutes away.
Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa highlights the traditional California coastal rancho setting with a series of low-rise adobe structures with arched doorways and clay tile roofs. Wood lintels, exposed rafters, wrought iron, thick plaster walls and other traditional materials complete the rancho-style surroundings and pay tribute to the rich history of this unique property.
