An iconic San Diego ...

An iconic San Diego landmark. I grew up here and remember my father bringing home a 6ft halibut he had speared skin diving in LA Jolla Cove in the 1950's. The morning after I was married my new husband and I came to LA Valencia for the FANTASTIC gourmet Sunday brunch buffet they served 36 years ago. We have stopped in periodically since, and decided to book a room to celebrate 36 years of marriage. What matters to me most in a hotel is the kindness and hospitality of the staff. The location, cleanliness, amenities are important as well, but if I am treated rudely at check in it is hard to be comfortable in a place. From the beginning we experienced only pleasant, professional and helpful people. Lovely. They also gave us the best table overlooking the ocean for our brunch booking. We didn't request it, but we got it...yay. What a wonderful and tranquil spot to enjoy La Jolla. Thank you to everyone for our 36th anniversary stay couldn't have been better. My only note would be to bring back that amazing Sunday brunch buffet....I miss it. Thanks again.

I admit that I've never stayed at La Valencia hotel, I've only ever gone to the lounge for a drink and some nibbles. BUT... if the quality of service, well mixed cocktails, and tastiness of nibbles is anything to go by then I assume staying overnight in their hotel is pretty good. Every time my wife and I go there we get a table by the big window, a cocktail, some scooby snacks, and just chill out enjoying the view of the ocean and each other's company. Even when it's busy in there it's not loud like most lounges, which is nice. Every time we've been the service is always great, the cocktails are always soooooo tasty, and the food is very good. One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in San Diego.

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.

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.
