La Valencia Hotel

La Valencia Hotel had a Christmas Tea this past year that I attended with some family members. I loved the ambience of the hotel as soon as I stepped into the main lobby. All the staff were attentive and friendly. The room that the tea was held in had an ocean view and the weather that day was beautiful. The food and drinks were exceptional … and the “wow factor” for me was when the food carriers were brought out and ‘mist’ was slowly billowing from them caused by dry ice! So fun to see and made a special moment in the event. My family is hoping to make this a family tradition every year.

We attended a wedding here. The wedding was held in the balcony and it offered an amazing scenic view of La Jolla Cove. The ballroom was beautiful and the food was great. The staff was very nice and attentive. The valet parking is convenient and reasonably priced. Kudos to the front desk clerk who found some shipping tape so I can fix my shoes.

Best hotel in La Jolla. We are hotel snobs with high expectations and we LOVED it. The rooms are immaculate, staff friendly, and service exceptional. It is in a perfect location close to all the shops/restaurants and extremely dog friendly with a park right behind the hotel. The whaling bar and hotel restaurants are also great. Excellent cocktails and food. They even have a dog menu and gave our dog treats. We will definitely be back.

I admit that I've never stayed at La Valencia hotel, I've only ever gone to the lounge for a drink and some nibbles. BUT... if the quality of service, well mixed cocktails, and tastiness of nibbles is anything to go by then I assume staying overnight in their hotel is pretty good. Every time my wife and I go there we get a table by the big window, a cocktail, some scooby snacks, and just chill out enjoying the view of the ocean and each other's company. Even when it's busy in there it's not loud like most lounges, which is nice. Every time we've been the service is always great, the cocktails are always soooooo tasty, and the food is very good. One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in San Diego.

I stopped by for a glass of wine and an appetizer and what a great surprize. The view, service and atmosphere exceeded expectations. I had a perfect glass of chilled Chardonnay while overlooking the ocean plus a Shrimp cocktail. Aaron was the server and he could not have made my day better other than bringing my wife, who I spent 56 years with, back to life. This was one of our favorite spots to enjoy the view, excellent service and kindness. Ask for Aaron and your day will be better.
