The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

Rooms are kinda older and poorly lit which was a little tough in late November with rain; we were cold. The food and drinks were excellent at the restaurant and catering.

Served on dirty dishes, not one dish but all 4 of us got our food on dirty dishes. What a loss of trust when almost all dishes have food stuck on them , spoons with green remnants and tea cups with lipstick marks.

Excellent location and surroundings , fabulous room and facilities. Friendly and welcoming staff during our stay. Super restaurant with a good selection of international dishes. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a short or long stay.

I sang Christmas carols on the lawn here as a child, and the Inn was a part of the Rancho Santa Fe community long before my family lived there. I always wanted to stay, and now that I live abroad it is my home when I am back in the North County. It was as magical as I expected, the property is gorgeous, the dining excellent, the staff friendly and attentive, the rooms comfortable and well-appointed and the amenities first rate. I will be back often in the future.

Staff were excellent and extremely helpful. My room was comfortable. The amenities were excellent and food was outstanding.

Nothing

Great property and staff, the town is really well preserved, quiet and safe. You can't go wrong! The place is beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful

My husband, two young boys and I had an incredible stay at the Inn! Our room was beautiful, the bed was so comfortable. Everyone at the hotel was so accommodating and friendly and service at all food and beverage outlets was outstanding. We ate at the cafe for breakfast, Lillian’s for breakfast and dinner, and had drinks at Bing’s. Every meal we had was phenomenal. There was a great selection at each venue and lots of options for our kids. We are absolutely looking forward to going to back for another visit!

We had the best time at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. From the minute we arrived, it felt like a true getaway — peaceful, beautiful, and welcoming. The café quickly became a favorite spot. My wife is a big matcha fan, and she said both the hot matcha and the lavender cold matcha were some of the best she’s ever had. That alone will bring us back. Dinner at Lillian’s was a whole experience. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the service and atmosphere. The staff went out of their way to make it easy with our kids — bringing out coloring books and even moving our table when we needed a little extra space. The “Lillian’s Wonderland” setup was so beautiful that everyone around was snapping photos and the banana split was perfect for the kids to share, and everything else we tried was just as good. We stayed in one of the Garden Cottages, and it honestly felt over the top. Spacious, comfortable, and private — like having our own little hideaway. Between the setting, the food, and the way the staff made us feel right at home, this was easily a five-star stay. We’re already talking about when we can come back.
