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.

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!

I am obsessed with this hotel. It’s perfect. My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here 15 years ago, and since then we have had the privilege to stay several times, together or with friends. The location is perfect, the hotel is beautiful, the food is great. Most recently, I went with two of my dearest friends for a girls trip. We had the best time by the pool and relaxing. Couldn’t recommend more.

Pros: This hotel is so beautiful and the location is perfect for exploring. The pool is nice and has very comfortable loungers. Restaurant experience was also very good quality. Cons: partially my mistake for not booking a better room, I think. But a classic king- oof. So much street noise, and then woke up to 5am house music coming from somewhere (club, room above?), and the walls are paper thin. Overall I like this hotel but not for sleeping.

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!
