The La Valencia Hotel underwent a complete refurbishing in 2001, which turned this 1926 hotel into a viable competition for any modern day rivalry. Her trademark pink facade endears guests to this Grand Dame.

All Review Photos As I’d been to San Diego many times in the past, I wanted to try something new and stay in downtown La Jolla. After consulting the IGOUGO San Diego journals, I was convinced La Valencia might be worth its rather steep tariff....
