Tucked in a secret garden setting, Rancho Bernardo Inn invites guests to unwind among the flowers, fountains and Mediterranean-inspired architecture. Family-owned and operated and affiliated with Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the resort completed a guestroom refresh including the unveiling of junior suites with firepits overlooking the award-winning Spa or 18-hole championship golf course.

Its unpretentious luxury and genuine hospitality have made Rancho Bernardo Inn a favorite among travellers and locals alike. With five restaurants and daily live music, there is always something delicious available. Welcome the sun with your favorite morning beverage and pastry at Café Granada or visit Golf Grill before hitting the links and to celebrate a fantastic round. Enjoy all-day patio dining with golf course views at Veranda and for a vine-to-table experience, AVANT offers seasonally-changing menus inspired by the on-site Chef's Garden.

The Spa is a private paradise, exclusive to spa guests, with open-air walkways connecting the indoor treatment rooms and outdoor casitas. The tranquil soundtrack of the water features is the perfect backdrop to the jasmine-scented gardens, saline spa pool and dedicated servers.

Located in the heart of San Diego's Wine Country, the resort is within 15 minutes of multiple family- and dog-friendly wineries with sprawling landscapes and elevated sunset views. Within 40 minutes are world-famous attractions like San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Legoland California, beaches and San Diego International Airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Preferred Hotels & Resorts Platinum Partner always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT with our AI hotel booking MCP server and ask for rates. You finish the booking instantly on a secure Rialto page, direct with the hotel. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

Do I earn I Prefer points and keep my elite benefits? Is this considered a direct booking or a third-party booking?

Yes. The booking is a direct reservation with the hotel, so it earns I Prefer points and elite-night credit, and I Prefer elite status benefits apply.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.
