We booked a room here for our parents to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary and were incredibly impressed. Shraddha, concierge, helped us make the experience truly unforgettable. From the welcome champagne to the beautiful room decor, to personalized dessert, our parents are still taking about their experience. The room itself was absolutely gorgeous- ocean front with an oversized balcony. It’s Within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shopping. Highly highly recommend La Valencia.

We just got back from four nights at La Valencia and we’re already planning when we can return. This was hands down our favorite West Coast vacation spot. The moment we walked in, we genuinely felt like we were walking into someone’s home. Not a hotel. A home. The kind where you’re warmly welcomed, looked after, and treated like you belong. That feeling never left us the entire stay. The property itself is everything you’ve heard. Beautiful, classic, comfortable, with perfect ocean views and food that genuinely delivered. The pool is iconic for a reason. The Mediterranean Room and the bar were both highlights. But what really separates La Valencia from every other beautiful hotel out there is the staff. Every single person on the team goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. And then there’s Shraddha (Concierge). Where do we even begin. Shraddha was by far one of the top highlights of our entire trip. She took the time to walk us through the entire property, explaining the 100 years of history behind the Pink Lady — the food, the spa, the pool, the gardens, the stories. She treated us like she’d known us for years. Warm, fun, lively, and so genuinely excited about the property that we left her tour more excited than when we started. That’s a rare kind of hospitality. We will absolutely be back to La Valencia. In fact, we can already picture future trips with business partners, friends, and family at this property. It’s that kind of place — the kind you want to share with everyone you love. See you soon, Pink Lady. And Shraddha, save us the biggest hug. — Todd & Destinee

Once again The staff, atmosphere, property and my stay exceeded all of my expectations. The best pool deck on the west coast.

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.

We had a wonderful stay. The city of La Jolla was easy to bring young children to, and San Diego was very close for a quick trip to museums and the zoo. The hotel was clean, extremely accommodating, and family friendly. While quieter, it does have a pool and kid friendly food options. We enjoyed the hotel restaurant and the ocean view. We hope to come back to the West coast and if we do, we hope to stay at La Valencia again!

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!
