My wife and I have been coming to La Valencia for almost fifteen years. We've had many great experiences and visit almost annually. The remodeled rooms are tremendous and the views are outstanding. The food, bar and Walkable location is top notch, and there's so much to do in the the village. I'd highly recommend it!

Best dinner and location in La Jolla!

Enjoyed lunch here in the Mediterranean Room. Great views. A huge Cobb salad.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jenny in the reservations department at La Valencia for my upcoming wedding weekend, and I already feel so confident in my choice! From the moment I reached out, Jenny was incredibly helpful, professional, and warm. She made the reservation process seamless, answering all of my questions with patience and offering great suggestions to ensure our stay will be perfect. Her knowledge of the hotel rooms was exceptional, and her friendly demeanor made it a joy to work with her. I truly appreciate how much she made me feel like a valued guest already, even though my stay is still a little ways off. Based on my experience with Jenny so far, I’m confident that my wedding weekend is going to be just as smooth and special as she made the reservation process! I would highly recommend reaching out to Jenny for anyone looking to book at La Valencia — she’s a true professional!

Didn't stay at the hotel, just popped in for a light lunch. Staff was nice and the view was amazing.

Beautiful hotel, great location and excellent service!

Echoes of the Amalfi Coast. Generous rooms, many with good views of the ocean.

We stayed at the La Valencia this last December, we celebrated my birthday and also booked breakfast with Santa for our daughters. Everything was perfect. My husband and I already have plans to book the same weekend next year. To start Mark greeted us at the entrance with a cold glass of champagne. Ana and Joey were so sweet. They made check in a breeze and gave our girls a “special treat” of a box of chocolates, making them feel so fancy. They surprised us with a bottle of champagne and card sent up to our room for my birthday. The next morning we had breakfast at with Santa which I would 100% recommend. Our waitress Michelle was so attentive and patient with our girls, and the Santa was one of the best we’ve seen. We were really impressed by all of the staff we encountered, and loved the character and vibe of the hotel. Chain hotels just can’t compare to this boutique hotel - a piece of San Diego history. We will definitely be back!

Service is excellent and the views are amazing. I highly recommend drinks in the lounge and watch the sunset.

La Valencia Hotel, affectionately known as “The Pink Lady,” is a historic gem nestled in the heart of La Jolla. Opened in 1926, this Mediterranean-style landmark has been a symbol of elegance and charm for nearly a century. With its iconic pink exterior, Spanish-tiled roofs, and lush gardens, the hotel exudes timeless beauty and sophistication. La Valencia quickly became a favorite getaway for Hollywood stars, artists, and writers, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and a luxurious escape from city life. Over the decades, it has retained its old-world charm while blending modern amenities, making it a perfect destination for travelers seeking both history and comfort.
