Amazing staff - Mike at the pool has been friendly staff we enjoy seeing year after year. Welcoming team and the concierge Mark was wonderful to make our special weekend extra special!! Pro tip: have concierge make dinner reservations so that you get a great table!

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.

Beautiful hotel and one ...

Beautiful hotel and one employee Diego went above and beyond helping retrieve an item of ours that fell behind a crevice on property during a wedding. We really appreciate it and will always remember La Valencia fondly because of Diego!

Amenities of this place ...

Amenities of this place is epic, and the views iconic. I think the most European coastal hotel in all of Southern California. Really giving amalfi/positano vibes here

This is the spot! Spent our wedding night with panoramic views of the La Jolla coastline. This hotel strikes the right balance of history, elegance, comfort, and care. Their staff are superb. If you enjoy staying at a nice hotel, you've found it.
