Overlooking La Jolla Cove and the Pacific Ocean, the Mediterranean-inspired La Valencia opened December 15, 1926.
Although remaining essentially unchanged since its lavish debut, one of its more distinctive additions is the tower with its gold and blue dome, which was utilized as a civil defense lookout during World War II.
Known as the 'Jewel of La Jolla,' the hotel is richly appointed with rare furnishings, exquisite Spanish mosaics and hand-painted murals and ceilings.
La Valencia has been a popular hideaway for Hollywood celebrities since its opening and retains a sense of nostalgia while continuing to offer the latest in comforts and amenities.
