The Grande Colonial

The Grande Colonial has garnered accolades for the complete restoration of its polished mahogany paneling, brass fitting, and genteel library and lounge (as we did not go inside i will have to take the books word of this). (this building use to be an apartment hotel back in 1913). This historic hotel is a block from the ocean offers elegant romance. They are located at 910 Prospect St La Jolla, CA. (this was a beautiful drive to get to this hotel) Each room has a goose-down comforter and cushy bathrobes, just perfect for a lazy day and a reason to call room service. The streets are lined with tons of unique shops for walking and holding hands. You can stop in and have a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or perhaps purchase the engagement ring at one of the many jewelry stores.
