La Valencia Hotel

We stayed in a fantastic suite with an even better ocean view after having been upgraded free of charge. Very nice traditional luxury vibe.

After careful research we selected La Valencia Hotel as our property to host 25 women for a theater and food themed weekend in La Jolla. It was the perfect choice and our main contact Cesar was a DREAM to work with, The property is as stunning as the location we were visiting. The flowers! The walkways that wind through the property. Access to the coastline is easy and the views from the property were gorgeous. Everyone loved gathering for breakfast on the outdoor patio to get us fuel for our day. Thoughtfully Cesar suggested we use The Med Patio as our meet up spot for our various departure times. Was perfect! And spacious and convivial. We were there to see a show about Julia Child so of course we had to include a cooking class as one of our activities. Cesar put us in the perfect spot - in the ballroom with a seaside terrace. Ample space for the group to gather, cook, and enjoy our meal together. A memorable evening in a memorable space. Thank you Cesar and the entire staff at La Valencia Hotel. We had a GRAND time.

Fantastic girls getaway, gorgeous property, great location, wonderful room. However, what made the stay truly memorable was the gracious hospitality of concierge, Shraddha Carlin. She started our trip with a warm welcome and celebratory glass of champagne and continued to extend genuine, caring, knowledgeable hospitality throughout our stay!

Shraddha was amazing and left us with a memorable experience. She showed us all of the amenities that La Valencia had to offer and made us feel so welcomed. The rooms were breathtaking and can't wait to come back to visit the property.

Get a room with ocean views. Can’t beat the location. Wonderful, friendly service. Beautiful pool and comfy loungers. Steps from La Jolla Cove and all the restaurants and shops on Girard, etc. very efficient valet. Rooms are a bit worn and overall wear on resort due to oceanfront location likely, but still made for a comfortable, lovely getaway.

This was the worst stay I have ever had at a hotel that charged such a high price per night. You are absolutely paying solely for the location and that is absolutely it. Our room had a broken AC, and we had to be moved to a super loud room. Rooms are all old, musty smelling, dirty, old/loud ACs, very LOUD. We came for a relaxing vacation and couldn't get any sleep whatsoever. Loud live music at night, loud cars, loud people passing by, can hear the people above you even using the bathroom - omg never ever ever ever again. Stay from hell.

La Valencia’s history is really the standout. Very 1920's the moment you walk in; older architecture, vintage details, and a kind of old‑school La Jolla charm that’s hard to find anywhere else. The views over the Cove add to it, and the whole property has this relaxed, timeless vibe. The pool and common areas keep that same character, and the staff is friendly and easy to work with. It’s just a cool, historic spot in a great location.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Valencia! Views of the coast line from the room, comfortable bed and spacious quarters made our trip unforgettable.

Had a business meeting in the La Jolla area, and La Valencia was the perfect location, not to mention the exceptional customer service and unique experience. The hotel is a historical landmark - which ties in to the unique experience for me. No TV's in the lobby bar, just people having real conversations and interacting while enjoying spectacular views. Greeted by a concierge right at entry. Cocktails and food at the end of the day were well crafted and high quality. Being an older hotel, the rooms are on the smaller size, but still comfortable and slept well. The pool looked like it was a happening scene and will hopefully have time on my next trip to unwind. Valet parking only - no self parking but service was quick and friendly by the attendants. I'll definitely be back!

Good location in downtown La Jolla

Our stay at La Valencia Hotel was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. Check-in and check-out were quick and pleasant, and we were welcomed with a complimentary glass of champagne upon arrival.

The grounds were beautiful and impeccably maintained—it felt like stepping into a classic 1950s movie set. The pool area was stunning, and we loved the ocean views from the breakfast terrace.

A special thank you to Colton, our bellhop, and Mark, the concierge, who were outstanding. They provided great recommendations, arranged transportation to nearby shops via golf cart, suggested local walks and kayak tours of the sea caves, and even helped secure reservations for us. Their hospitality truly made our stay exceptional.

La Valencia is a top favorite hotel of mine and this trip did not disappoint. I was in town for business and stayed through the weekend to enjoy La Jolla. While a boutique hotel, it was accommodating for business meetings and also had the amenities to relax over the weekend. Jessica was fantastic at the front desk and worked with my multiple requests and date changes. The valet staff, especially Nick, was professional and he remembered my name after the first introduction. Mike at the pool had the perfect balance of letting me enjoy my quiet time, yet also being attentive to my food/drink orders. La Valencia is a fantastic destination whether for work or pleasure. I will definitely be back!

The Entire Staff at this Hotel is so efficient, friendly, and hospitable--from the Valet to the Restaurant and Lobby bar area to the Front Desk. Gorgeous setting, Hotel, and just the best.

Michael Mele was the most amazing, outstanding professional, and courteous server that we have had in a very, very long time. He went above and beyond. Service was stellar. He gets a 10! We were here for a family dinner for our son’s 17th birthday.
