Score 86/100 · Order: Pink landmark above the cove · $400–750/night
The Pink Lady has sat above La Jolla Cove since 1926 and remains the best base for exploring the village on foot. Rooms are smaller than modern resorts, but the terrace and the location make up for it.
Local tip: Ocean-view rooms are worth the premium; village-view rooms face a busy street.
