You can't go wrong at la Valencia, beautiful ocean view with live singer, and delicious tapas and beverages.

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.

This hotel is centrally located to shops and restaurants in La Jolla, and more importantly it’s a very short walk to the cove and to the coastal walk where you can watch the sea lions and seals. The hotel itself has an awesome vibe. It’s on the Historical Hotels of America list. The pink lady and spa candles by the front desk smell so good! Front desk staff is very attentive and nice. Smooth check in and check out processes. They’re very helpful if you need anything during your stay, too (you can text for anything you need which is very convenient). The room was awesome. Highly recommend room 908 as it has a balcony where you can see the ocean. Only downside is that the fridge is more of a cooler, so you can’t use it for anything perishable. I would have preferred a fridge but it worked out for our stay. The room/ bed space was very clean. TV was good, but lacked some local sports. Bathroom was very spacious and clean. I love how big the shower area is. The spa is AMAZING! I highly recommend a massage with Ruth. She’s such a kind soul and knows how to provide a relaxing experience. The spa is very clean and has everything you’d need. The views are really cool from so many parts of this hotel. We didn’t try the hotel restaurant but it seemed popular. My husband got some drinks by the pool one day and they were a little overpriced but he enjoyed them. The valet staff is very attentive, friendly, and on top of things. They kept our rental car safe and also drove us to dinner one day in the pink hotel golf cart which was a fun experience! They were super helpful loading and unloading the car too. If you download the Zybra Plus App, you can have access to a free bike (2 hours) or e-bike (1 hour) rental. Very easy process and hotel bikes are in the valet lot across the street from the hotel.

A Unique and Dog-Friendly Gem The staff at La Valencia are incredibly kind, professional, and respectful. This hotel is truly dog-friendly — at check-in they even put my dog’s name on the reservation, which made us feel so welcome. They even have a special dog menu! The food is beautifully presented, and the architecture is stunning, with traditional Spanish touches and gorgeous ceramic tiles on the walls. It feels like a one-of-a-kind place, full of charm and character. Totally recommendable for anyone visiting La Jolla.

Wonderful stay. A beautiful historical hotel. Happy Hour at Whaling Bar is very nice.

Such a gorgeous hotel. The rooms scream coastal luxury while the hotel itself is warm, romantic and full of Spanish/ Mediterranean character. You truly feel at home at La Valencia. Timeless, stunning and one to remember.

Es una joya iconica de san diego le llaman la dama de rosa.

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.

I love La Valencia, the staff makes you feel at home. Mark the concierge is the best!!! The views, the ambiance, the food, everything is always perfect!

I found this beautiful hotel through their Instagram! Their Instagram page captures this special place so well but it is even more beautiful in person! Their hospitality is incredible and it was such a wonderful experience!!! So beautiful!
