My family loves La Valencia Hotel. The luxury and comfort of the property are next to none. One of the highlights that made our trip unforgettable was the exceptional service from, Shraddha, Concierge. She provided us with spot on suggestions to explore San Diego. She recommended taking the trolley which we did. It was an incredible tour of the city with 9 stops. Shraddha, has such a pleasant personality which made it so easy to work with her!

Pete at the bar was the amazing! So sweet, so fun and made the best gin sour cocktail. Made sure to make us feel welcomed and not rushed during closing. 100% will be back!

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!
