WHERE A BYGONE ERA OF GRACIOUS RURAL LIVING HAS NEVER GONE BY.

The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is just 25 minutes north of San Diego, hidden in the golden foothills of Old California. It is a place where time ceases to tick and begins to flow, where the San Diego weather does a perfect imitation of Eden, and where the natural beauty of the surroundings couldn’t be more romantic. Welcome to The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe.

Since its debut in 1924 as La Morada, “The home with many rooms,” The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe has grown more storied, playing host to Presidents, Royalty and Hollywood's Elite.

Located just four miles inland from the Pacific, the romantic Spanish style property overlooks 23 pristine acres of rolling hills, bridle trails and winding pathways that inspire nature lovers, sunset lovers and romantics of all ages.

While the historic Main Building has kept its country inn living room and bar, The Inn’s Dining Room has been handsomely updated. You can enjoy a light California Bistro menu in a relaxed, romantic courtyard or sample a European-inspired tasting menu that features delicacies from local harvests. You’ll also want to savor Terrace dining with its sweeping view of The Village.

With so many activities to choose from, there’s something for everyone. Unpack your racquet and clubs for a few sets of tennis or rounds of golf in our incomparable setting. Try your hand at lawn croquet on our manicured course. Go for a walk or jog around the breathtaking grounds. Talk to our fitness instructor about setting up a personalized regimen. Finish things off with a cool, refreshing dip in the pool.

For guests that need to stay in touch from our little corner of Paradise, The Inn provides complimentary wireless high speed Internet connection.

If you have an appetite for shopping or dining, we’re happy to oblige. The boutiques and antique shops in the nearby Village of Rancho Santa Fe offer store after store filled with tempting selections. You’re bound to find favorite dishes and wines among its many award-winning restaurants.

One of the most memorable ways to take in the area is from horseback along the miles of surrounding equestrian trails. Just a few miles south, the charms of San Diego await you. Spend an afternoon cheering the thoroughbreds at fabled Del Mar racetrack. Play a round of golf at legendary Torrey Pines. Take in pristine La Jolla’s coves and beaches, galleries and Scripps Aquarium. Visit The San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Legoland or Mission Bay. Discover Old Town San Diego, bustling downtown San Diego, Balboa Park with its Old Globe Theater, museums and exhibits—or cross the Bridge to charming Coronado Island.

If you’ve ever wondered whether all of life's most romantic moments are random, the answer is “No.” The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is one you actually choose.
