La Valencia Hotel - A Mediterranean-style landmark with ocean views, fine dining, and a heated pool in La Jolla
Perched above La Jolla Cove, this historic San Diego hotel features Mediterranean architecture and hand-painted murals dating back to the 1930s. The 114-room property offers accommodations ranging from 250-square-foot Vintage rooms to 1200-square-foot villas, each equipped with Smart TVs and Keurig coffee makers. The Mediterranean Room restaurant serves California coastal cuisine, while La Sala Lounge provides craft cocktails under decorated ceilings. A heated outdoor pool with cabana service overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The property includes a 24-hour fitness center with a Peloton bike and a business center. Located steps from La Jolla Cove beach, the hotel sits within walking distance of boutiques, galleries, and museums in La Jolla Village. Guest parking is available through valet service for $30 per night.
Pros
Les Clefs d'Or concierge services arrange coastal activities and transportation
Pet-friendly rooms with custom dog menu for outdoor dining
Seasonal poolside cabana offers COOLA sun care products
Original 1930s European Village murals adorn public spaces
Cons
No self-parking available on property
Limited room availability during peak seasons
“I see a landmark that delivers more than just a perfect location near La Jolla Cove; it's an experience steeped in Mediterranean charm, even if the beach access involves navigating stairs. The meticulous pet-friendly approach and ocean-view pool amplify the hotel's appeal. On-site dining aims high, though expect the prices to reflect that ambition.”
