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.

Wonderful time! Perfect location and the staff were amazing. Above and beyond! The pool staff were most rememberable. So kind to us and children. So respectful to the kids with their orders and needs. Mark at the concierge was such a part of the experience, as well as John and Aaron at the front desk. We will see you in the near future. Thank you.

This is our second time and once again a wonderful experience at La Valencia La Jolla! Beautiful historical property and rooms...a California classic with great vibes. Drinks at the La Sala were very pleasant overlooking the ocean! Location is perfect...can walk everywhere in La Jolla once arrived.

Hotel is iconic but they need to work on their customer service for what we paid to stay there. Very overpriced. We were there for our honeymoon and had high expectations. (Also no one ever told us about the elevators, so it’s over 100 steps/stairs to and from our room!)

Fabulous hotel! Loved the location, pool, dinning, and views. Would highly recommend La Valencia in the La Jolla area.

We had a wonderful experience at the Valensia. The staff were excellent and the accommodations impeccable. We rented a cabana at the pool and had the most amazing service by the pool bartender/attendant/Jack of all trades, Mike. He was a true professional and made us feel special. He catered to our parties every need and did so with a smile and an energy that was contagious. I was very impressed with all the pool staff. They worked very hard to serve a busy pool population.

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!
