has embodied coastal California charm since it opened in 1926. Originally named Los Apartmentos de Sevilla, the hotel was designed in a Spanish Colonial Revival style – its pink façade inspired by the owners’ vacation to Waikiki Beach in the 1950s. Famed for its 11-story Spanish-tiled tower, Mediterranean-style architecture, and stunning Pacific Ocean and La Jolla Cove views, “The Pink Lady” has served as a glamorous getaway for Hollywood’s elite, hosting many notable guests over the decades, from Ginger Rogers to John Lennon. Nods to the hotel’s rich history are still evident across the property, including beautiful courtyards and an original tile medallion of the Pink Lady of La Valencia in its ocean-facing garden. Throw in Les Clefs d’Or Concierge Services and

The Swimming Pool

La Valencia’s swimming pool is nothing short of breathtaking. Overlooking the La Jolla Shoreline and framed by palm trees and tropical plants, it’s the perfect place to while away an afternoon or entire day on one of the plush sun loungers, which are interspersed with side tables and wide sun umbrellas, enjoying food and beverage service (think ahi poke nachos, Mediterranean flatbread, and seared local bluefin tuna salad, plus Frosé All Day cocktails) from the

. COOLA sun care products are available, and complimentary Wi-Fi can keep you connected if you need to WFP (‘Work From Pool’). There’s a private hot tub area, too, but much like the rest of the hotel, the entire terrace offers epic Pacific Ocean views.

. After a nearly decade-long tenure at The Marine Room, Pailles also brings a wealth of fine dining experience from his time at the Michelin-starred Xerta Restaurant in Barcelona to the *****. Drawing on his ******** heritage, Pailles has created complex flavor journeys using hyper-local ingredients across dishes, including sweetwater prawns with aroz bomba and a tataki tuna crudo with cactus fruit aguachile, both of which can be found on the Mediterranean Room menu. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with brunch served on weekends, score a table on The Med’s Ocean View Terrace for the prettiest dining backdrop in La Jolla. But for a post-yoga breakfast or early evening glass of Champagne swing by La Sala Lounge and nab a window seat for cinematic views.

A 20-foot mural and original centerpiece, ‘Whale’s Last Stand,’ by Wing Howard anchors the intimate space, whose Moroccan-style interior and intimate ambiance are reminiscent of a 1940s ********* lounge. Open daily from 11am to 11:30pm, menus have been created with nods to the original Whaling Bar and feature ‘Martini Hour’ nightcap cocktails like The Whaler (composed with cognac, coffee liqueur and homemade ice cream) alongside lunch and dinner dishes conceived by executive chef Brian Redzikowski that span Osetra Caviar with buckwheat pancakes, a ‘dip’ lobster roll, and Caesar ‘********’ salad.
