Fodor's Expert Review Cormorant Boutique Hotel

It’s the view and location that will grab you at this new boutique hotel with plenty of perks including a rooftop restaurant, the 24-hour Prospect Market, and Tesla charging stations. Named after the black sea birds you’ll most likely see from your balcony, this La Jolla property stands out from the pack with room service, a business center, valet parking, and mid-century modern touches that are prominent in everything from the clean lines of the furniture to the patterned carpet. Even if you don’t stay here, the hotel's rooftop bar, Birdseye, is worth a visit for some of the best views in town (hotel guests receive 15% off).
