The Beach at La Valencia Hotel

"This 1926 landmark pastel-pink stucco palace is a statement of opulent beachside style"

"Fans revere the "million-dollar view" of La Jolla Cove from this "classic" beachfront "grande dame", "gently updated" to preserve its "old-world charm" and "elegance", enhanced by "superior", "responsive" service; rooms are "beautiful" and "luxurious" with WiFi (some have whirlpools and balconies, and in-room spa treatments are available) – bolstered by the "impressive cuisine" (brunch "sets the standard" ), "wonderful" music in the lobby and "top-notch" bar, ensuring your stay here is "worth every penny"
