Recently it came in the form of a charming suite overlooking the Pacific Ocean, a secluded beach, and a delicious, 40-day aged cut of prime steak. In other words, I spent a night at the historic Grande Colonial in La\u00a0Jolla and dined at the property&#8217;s renowned NINE-TEN Restaurant &amp; Bar.<\/p>\n<p>A friend and I recently escaped to the 100-yr-old Grande Colonial for a memorable seaside getaway. Our adventure began when we checked into a beautiful suite overlooking the ocean. The suite dripped with classic design and elegance. It was like a night at a governor&#8217;s mansion back in the 1930s or 40s, but with all of the modern luxuries of a AAA Four Diamond Award recipient.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2509\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2509\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Grande-Colonial-Hotel-La-Jolla.jpg\" alt=\"the Grande Colonial Hotel, La Jolla\" width=\"850\" height=\"611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Grande-Colonial-Hotel-La-Jolla.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Grande-Colonial-Hotel-La-Jolla-600x431.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Grande-Colonial-Hotel-La-Jolla-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Grande-Colonial-Hotel-La-Jolla-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Grande-Colonial-Hotel-La-Jolla-104x74.jpg 104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Grande Colonial has been welcoming guests since 1913.

The room was highlighted by huge old-fashioned windows that opened wide to let in cool sea breezes and offer magnificent views of La\u00a0Jolla\u2019s beach and rocky coves.<\/p>\n<p>Once acquainted with the suite, we explored the 93-room boutique hotel and its grounds. Opened in 1913 as La Jolla\u2019s first hotel, the Grande Colonial started as an apartment \/ hotel. It soon added a pharmacy run by the father of actor Gregory Peck, who grew up in La\u00a0Jolla. In the coming years, the hotel would host notables such as Charlton Heston, Groucho Marx, Jane Wyatt, Eve Arden, Pat O\u2019Brien and David Niven.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout its 100 years, the five-story hotel has seen numerous upgrades and owners, but has always kept its signature Colonial revival-style architecture and its prominent corner location, one block above the ocean. The hotel&#8217;s most recent renovation was to its signature dining spot, the NINE-TEN Restaurant &amp; Bar, which is located next to the lobby.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2510\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2510\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2510\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Nine-Ten-Restaurant.jpg\" alt=\"the Nine Ten Restaurant at the Grande Colonial\" width=\"850\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Nine-Ten-Restaurant.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Nine-Ten-Restaurant-600x426.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Nine-Ten-Restaurant-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Nine-Ten-Restaurant-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Nine-Ten-Restaurant-104x74.jpg 104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Nine-Ten&#8217;s \u201cevolving California cuisine\u201d is led by award-winning Chef Jason Knibb.

Led by award-winning Chef Jason Knibb and Pastry Chef Jose Alonzo III, the place specializes in a farm-to-table philosophy and features a harvest from local artisan farmers where produce is selected daily for the restaurant\u2019s seasonal menus.<\/p>\n<p>Our meal at NINE-TEN began with grilled octopus, with haricot verts and Spanish chorizo relish, whipped hummus, sherry vinaigrette, and spiced potato chips. For the main course I enjoyed an incredible 40-day aged prime rib-eye steak with mashed potatoes, onion rings and Japanese peppers &#8211; all on a unique plate made from a sliced tree ring. My friend devoured the Alaskan Halibut, with a summer succotash of corn, squash, zucchini, fava beans, dried cherry tomatoes, chanterelle mushrooms, fennel pollen and corn dashi emulsion.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, we had a drink in the restaurant bar and then relaxed in the heated pool before retiring for the evening. In the morning we walked to the La\u00a0Jolla\u00a0Underwater Park, a 6,000-acre tideland area of rocky reefs, kelp beds, sand flats, and submarine canyons. The park is naturally a popular destination for colorful fish, snorkelers, scuba divers and kayakers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2507\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2507\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2507\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Beach-Near-Grande-Colonial.jpg\" alt=\"beach near Grande Colonial\" width=\"850\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Beach-Near-Grande-Colonial.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Beach-Near-Grande-Colonial-600x372.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Beach-Near-Grande-Colonial-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Beach-Near-Grande-Colonial-768x476.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beautiful beaches and tide pools are a short walk from the Grande Colonial.
