Absolutely Beautiful!! Our room in the Tower was exquisite. A stunning view of the ocean and beautiful sunset. We had a daily visit from a friendly "western seagull". The seals were talktive. I can't wait to visit La Jolla again.

La Valencia Hotel had a Christmas Tea this past year that I attended with some family members. I loved the ambience of the hotel as soon as I stepped into the main lobby. All the staff were attentive and friendly. The room that the tea was held in had an ocean view and the weather that day was beautiful. The food and drinks were exceptional … and the “wow factor” for me was when the food carriers were brought out and ‘mist’ was slowly billowing from them caused by dry ice! So fun to see and made a special moment in the event. My family is hoping to make this a family tradition every year.

Beautiful historic hotel with amazing ocean views and a perfect location in the heart of La Jolla. Our room was comfortable, the pool area was great for relaxing, and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful. A classic, charming stay — we’d definitely come back.

I attended tea with my sisters during Christmas. The servers, I think Ashley and Aaron, where so kind to us. I had some allergies I informed them about, and they helped me pick out the items I could drink. They had some Sparkling cider for me since I do not drink wine or champagne. It was such a lovely experience. The tea did get cold after a while since there was not a place to keep the tea pots warm. I grew up coming to La Valencia for special occasions and I am excited to start coming back to enjoy the view of the ocean and the enjoyable experience.

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Insanely beautiful location with an amazing staff. Everyone from valet, to front desk, to housekeeping made me feel so welcomed and relaxed. I love enjoying an old fashioned in La Sala and soaking in the ocean views. Truly a 5 star stay.

Erin was unbelievably helpful. We booked a room for my sister and her new husband. They were just married this morning. She did everything she could to make sure Thursday was extra special.

The restaurant there has an amazing view during sunset. Their appetizers before dinner can be very fulfilling for a quick bite and their service is beyond five stars. One of their waiters offered us free coffee just because they knew we were traveling from a long distance. A real authentic place with great hearted people!
