Hotel La Jolla celebrates new ownership

The Hotel La Jolla at 7955 La Jolla Shores Drive, was recently purchased by Khanna Enterprises and was added to the Hilton Curio Collection through a franchise. To celebrate the change, a grand opening party was held July 28. As director of sales, Tyler Garcia, explained, “This is our collection of boutique hotels where every other one is different.” Hotel La Jolla was renovated in 2012 by previous owner Kimpton and features a “nature-centric experience indoors with natural light and windows that open to let the fresh air in,” Garcia added. A tour of the facilities took center stage at the event. —María José Durán
