Capturing a classic, whimsical charm with modern style and grace, La Valencia Hotel – part of the LVX collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts – is an iconic destination in sunny La Jolla, California. This well-loved SoCal city lies just north of San Diego on the glittering Pacific coast, and for more than two centuries, travelers and locals alike have been flocking to "The Pink Lady" of La Jolla for a sophisticated and relaxing experience by the shore. The hotel's 112 guest rooms are split into three types - Vintage, Classic, and Villas - and all embrace European-inspired elegance and delightful character. Amenities include complimentary wireless Internet access, high definition televisions, honor bars, posh toiletries, and luxurious Italian linens. Views range from the lovely hotel gardens to the expansive blue ocean, and larger rooms feature private balconies from which to enjoy the vistas. Seasonal pool service is an excellent way to soak up the rays and begin your mornings, and those looking to keep up with a workout routine can take advantage of the hotel's well-equipped fitness center.

I love the nostalgic vibe of this hotel. The decor and ambiance is mixture of classic Hollywood while still being very modern and well maintained. The room was very clean and the amenities such as the bath robe and Keurig coffee maker was the perfect touch. I had an ocean view king room and loved awakening to the sound of the ocean waves in the morning. The pool area was also very inviting and relaxing.

La Valencia is stellar. A magical place, with a truly exceptional staff whose care, integrity, and professionalism are consistently exemplary. I travel several times a year to San Diego for work and to visit family, and this is where I always choose to stay. A boutique hotel that is like no other.

A true gem and remarkable stay at the La Valencia Hotel also known as the Pink Lady. A historic hotel that never disappoints.

We spent 4 lovely days at the La Valencia Hotel. Our ocean View room was spectacular. The service every where was impeccable. Of special note: Tina at the pool bar was exceptional. Anwar at the spa was amazing! The spa was a totally unexpected fabulous experience!

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for a long weekend, while visiting family in La Jolla. It was a place we had seen (but never stayed at) for years. We both really enjoyed the old-world charm of the hotel. Beautiful landscaping, mosaics, etc. Our room was small but clean and comfortable. Food and beverages were very good. Staff friendly. Pool area small but well done. Enjoyed watching all the small wedding events! Great location. It is expensive but if you can afford this hotel is a great choice. Tip: 'Classic' rooms in Sevilla wing with ocean views are great.

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!
