Fresh from a $25 million renovation, L’Auberge Del Mar (www.laubergedelmar.com) will re-open its doors on June 6, 2008 outside of San Diego. The historic seaside resort’s 120 rooms have been given a fresh new look, with custom-designed furniture, premium bedding, iPod docking stations, and 42-inch flat screen televisions. We hear that many of the guest rooms now have fireplaces; 14 garden-level rooms have private patios. Additionally, all bathrooms have been completely renovated and now have walk-in showers and marble-topped vanities. The new open-air lobby leads to the chic new Bleu Bar, while a new pool deck features private cabanas.

If you’re sending a group or a bride, take note: A new outdoor terrace features 2,000 square feet of space for weddings and private events. We’re told that in September, Executive Chef Paul McCabe will open a new signature restaurant with market and farm-driven menus. A 4,500 square foot luxury spa will be introduced in December 2008, featuring organic ingredients. Note: Spa services will be available in the property’s existing spa from June to December. The resort is managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts (www.destinationhotels.com).
