Orli La Jolla, a 13-room hospitality concept that blurs the line between 5-star hotel and homestay, is a wonderful example of placemaking design that showcases how a modern hotel can honor its past and celebrate its geographic legacy. Orli is located in a transformed 1910-era private residence originally designed by California architect Irving Gill, that until recently, has been run as a bed & breakfast.  Orli creates a harmonious relationship between the historic importance of the property, the previous B&B footprint, and modern guest demands. Throughout Orli you’ll find nods to Gill’s architectural style and early 20th century design, as well as iconic elements inspired by La Jolla’s history and natural beauty, like the custom hand-blown chandeliers that emulate the nearby tide pools, and sleek, high-tech features that bring the historic property into the modern era.

With a hyper-local focus, Orli integrates community-focused events and partnerships, encouraging social interaction like music events, yoga and pilates classes, and mini markets that feature local businesses.

As a first-of-its-kind hospitality model, Orli La Jolla is not only pioneering a new way for discerning travelers to experience this iconic coastal town, but also honoring the area’s rich history, adding character, and fostering community.
