For a vacation saturated in convenience and class, consider the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. The Hyatt is close to everything; located in La Jolla’s lovely and lively Golden Triangle, numerable restaurants and the vast University Town Center Mall are in walking distance, and key attractions like the cove, the bay, and the Gaslamp can all be reached in fifteen minutes by freeway or less.

Though the hotel is a behemoth, elegant down to the smallest details, the contentious staff makes sure it “embodies a true home away from home.” The Hyatt offers every amenity your heart could desire. No need to take a vacation from that fitness routine—the hotel’s 32,000 square foot Sporting Club One and Spa was rated among the top twenty in the United States by Self magazine. The outdoor pool is Olympic-sized, and the roomy Jacuzzi is bordered by private cabanas.

Locals and vagabonds alike frequent the fabulous dining establishments at the Hyatt’s adjacent restaurant village. Make extra-sure to sample some sushi fusion fare at Café Japengo. Chef Jerry Warner rolls with the best of them—he was awarded Best of Show at the 2005 Sushi Masters competition, where competitors designed dishes using only ingredients caught or grown in California. For homestyle Italian fare, try Sofia's Italian Table, or try Aquarella for upscale Mexican. Carnivores will especially enjoy Flemings Steakhouse and Wine Bar.
