FROG FAMILY REVIEW
La Valencia Hotel*
What we love
- Meditteranean-style property is one of the oldest hotels in the area
- Ocean-front hotel is a AAA Four Diamond Award winner
- Offers a range of accommodations, including vintage rooms all the way up to modern suites
- Luxurious imported bed linens and toiletries
- Perfect location near the beach, fabulous shopping and restaurants
- Heated outdoor pool and hot tub
- Pet friendly
Keep in Mind
- Smallest rooms are quite cozy at 250 square feet
- Classic standard rooms start at 400 square feet
- With many room types and few queens, book the room you desire rather than try to get an upgrade
- Few rooms that sleep 4
- While there is no on-site spa, guests can enjoy in-room massages
- There are very few rooms that offer balconies
Notable Facts
- La Valencia opened its doors as an apartment hotel in 1926 during Hollywood's Golden Era
- It was a popular spot for location shots and a quick getaway for the stars
- During World War II, the hotel's tower was used to scan the skies and seas for enemy planes and ships
Frog Family Tips
- Make sure to spend some time perusing the rotating works of art and its permanent collection
- Head over to watch the sea lions sunbathing and playing on Children's Beach
- Consider upgrading from the standard room; ocean view rooms are particularly nice
Best For
- Families, adults and couples looking for elegant, upscale accommodations in La Jolla
