La Valencia Hotel, La Jolla California Resorts

 

 

La Valencia


1132 PROSPECT STREET
LA JOLLA, CALIFORNIA 92037
UNITED STATES 

 

La Valencia or "Pink Lady of La Jolla" is an historic hotel that offers all the grace and charm of any property along the California coast. Located in the middle of downtown La Jolla, within walking distance of galleries, shops, restaurants and the beach, the hotel overlooks popular La Jolla Cove and a beautiful park where many weddings and events take place. 

 

Although the hotel does not sit directly on the beachfront, you need only exit the property and walk down the hill to go to the beach. So we're calling it a beach hotel because beach access is actually closer than the beaches on site at place in La Jolla such as The Lodge at Torrey Pines and Torrey Pines Hilton Resort.

La Valencia is a landmark property with a recognizable pink exterior and distinctive mosaic-tiled tower discernable for miles. Inside, its Mediterranean-inspired decor and architecture is enhanced by  rare antiques, beautiful Spanish mosaics, and hand-painted murals and ceilings. 

 

Opening in 1928, the hotel attracted the rich and famous of the era with a list of celebrities that included Charlie Chaplin, Groucho Marx, Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Ramon Navarro, the Talmadge sisters, Lillian Gish and Mary Pickford. Many of their autographed pictures hang  in an alcove just off the main lobby. More recent guests have included Madonna, members of Pearl Jam, Pete Townsend and Martha Stewart.
