La Valencia Hotel is a historic coastal property on the San Diego shoreline, where sea views frame both indoor and outdoor celebrations.
The hotel hosts outdoor ceremonies and elegant receptions in its meeting and banquet space, with in-house catering handled on site and a minimum of 10 guests, so intimate gatherings are as welcome as larger parties.
Accommodation spans 20 room types, from Classic King Rooms with Ocean View to Villa King Suites and Vintage King Ocean Rooms, several sleeping up to four.
On-site parking is available, and the nearest airport is San Diego International (SAN), which we estimate at around 20 minutes away.

We stayed here for the first 4 days of our honeymoon and were so sad to leave. Perfect location right in the heart of La Jolla — we walked the 3 minutes to see the seals and go to the Cove everyday.
