La Valencia Hotel, Mediterranean hotel in La Jolla, United States.
La Valencia Hotel rises above the Pacific coastline with a pink-colored exterior and Spanish-style architecture set in tropical grounds. The property contains 114 guest rooms spread across three buildings, an ocean-view swimming pool, and connects directly to the local shopping area.
Construction began in 1926, establishing this property as a coastal landmark that has remained active for nearly a century. Official recognition as a San Diego Historical Landmark came in 1987, acknowledging its role in shaping the local area.
The main dining room blends California coastal cooking with Spanish flavors, a tradition that shapes how guests experience the property today.
The location sits directly on the coastline, so water access is immediate but parking can be tight during busy hours. Visitors benefit from walking through the nearby shopping district rather than driving to explore the area.
A hand-painted ceiling decorates the central tower's interior, along with an original 1926 elevator that still operates. Few visitors notice these original details unless they look up or pause inside the tower.
