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 grew up coming to this beautiful property and I love that I can bring my family to share similar experiences. Every aspect is first class and we always leave reluctantly, but with plans to look at a calendar for our next trip. Very few places have maintained the brand integrity for decades like "La V."

La Valencia is in a fantastic location right by La Jolla Cove — the views and walkability are hard to top. The service was good, though not quite at a luxury level. The building itself has character and old-world charm, but it isn’t quite as polished as the photos make it appear. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but next time I’d probably explore other options in the area.

The location is perfect! The valet staff and Mark, the concierge are all welcoming from the moment you walk in. The ocean view room is beautiful and breath taking. Lastly, you will sleep well on the comfortable bed with the room darkening shades closed.

I was looking forward to staying at the historical hotel however I was gravely disappointed. I attempted to checkin at 2:30 but was forced to wait one minute prior to checkin time 4pm. The room I was given is on the top floor and directly below the generator. I couldn't sleep at all. Room wasn't very clean. I cleaned the toilet and my robe had a used stench. Upon checkout, I discovered damages to my rim after valeting.

The local, staff, local flavor, and walkability make the 'La V" and great option for your SoCal adventure to La Jolla California

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!
