Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
La Valencia Hotel overlooks the vast Pacific Ocean in the tony seaside community of La Jolla, California, just 15 minutes from downtown San Diego. La Valencia's opening in 1928 quickly attracted Hollywood legends from Charlie Chaplin, Groucho Marx, and Mary Pickford, who embraced the hotel as their own private hideaway. Today, La Valencia serves as a vibrant social nexus in a neighborhood of posh galleries, boutiques, and museums.
Meeting planners select from a variety of moods for their business meetings, from the contemporary refinement of the Board Room to the old-world flavor of The Galeria. Outside, gardenside courtyards allow groups to take full advantage of the ever-agreeable climate. Rooms and suites, all with windows that open to the sea breezes, combine upscale amenities with Southern California style. Three distinctive restaurants, a pool and Jacuzzi, fitness center, and spa treatments round out the list of incentives.
