Just had the opportunity to stay at the LaValencia Hotel for a weekend. Made a point to meet Mark Schoenberg, Concierge. Mark was our host for a historical tour of the hotel. He was a superb historian in expanding our knowledge of the evolution of this special site at the “Pink Lady”. Mark was very helpful in highlighting key areas in La Jolla. The beautiful architecture and tiles are unique to this site. Don’t miss the experience.

We went on a fun Historical tour at the La Valencia Hotel as it’s celebrating its 100 year anniversary this year. Concierge’s Mark & Shraddah made the history come alive for us… definitely a must if your in town!

We were greeted by Mark, the concierge extraordinaire!! with a lovely glass of champagne and then treated to a 20 minute tour of the 100 year old property. What a unique experience and such a delight to have his insight and wisdom about the rich history of LaValencia. Rachael, our daily breakfast server, greeted us every morning like we were long lost friends. She remembered our coffee orders and made the entire experience lots of fun!! It would be an entirely different experience without her being there.

Just had a great vacation! Loved La Valencia Hotel...so nostalgic and very well done! Our room was in the West Wing with two queen beds, down pillows and crisp hi thread count sheets; it was a completely refurbished room that still maintained it's history. The staff, from the moment we pulled up throughout the very end of our stay, was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. The grounds were impeccable and in a perfect location...on one side is the ocean and the other the village. We would definitely stay there again!
