JLL completes sale of Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7, 2026 – JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group announced today the sale of the 340-key Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla.

Located at 4550 La Jolla Village Dr., the institutional-quality property sits on 3.46 acres in the heart of University Town Center, known as San Diego's Innovation Hub and Golden Triangle. The hotel features 340 all-suite accommodations with separate living and sleeping areas that appeal to both business and leisure travelers. All suites are arranged around a dramatic open-air atrium, creating an elegant focal point for the property.

The hotel's amenities include Indulge Restaurant and Lounge with indoor seating for 30 guests and outdoor patio seating for 74, a fitness center, indoor pool and whirlpool, business center and 354 parking spaces including a 28,845-square-foot parking garage. Meeting facilities encompass 4,316 square feet across six flexible event spaces, including the pillarless Embassy Ballroom accommodating up to 200 guests and the 3,072-square-foot Indulge Patio for outdoor events.

The hotel benefits from its strategic location at the intersection of major employment, education and leisure demand drivers. University Town Center houses major corporate headquarters including Illumina's global headquarters, Apple's significant West Coast operations and LPL Financial, creating consistent business travel demand. The property sits adjacent to UC San Diego's campus and Scripps Health medical facilities, while being minutes from La Jolla's pristine beaches, the legendary Torrey Pines Golf Course and upscale shopping at Westfield UTC.

The JLL Hotels & Hospitality team that represented the seller included Senior Managing Director Tony Muscio, Managing Director James Stockdale, Senior Director Matt Riley, and Associate Youmei Xu.

"The Embassy Suites La Jolla represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire an institutional-quality, all-suite hotel with near-term operational flexibility in one of Southern California's most coveted coastal destinations," said Muscio. 

"The property's strong fundamentals, along with La Jolla's high barriers to entry and diverse demand generators, position the asset to capitalize on continued growth opportunities in the coming years," added Stockdale.
