Affectionately known as the Pink Lady of La Jolla, La Valencia Hotel and its distinctive tiled tower crown the local skyline as they have since 1926. This legendary hideaway's guest book reveals an impressive roster of celebrities ? from Groucho Marx and Lillian Gish to Madonna and Martha Stewart.

Set above picturesque La Jolla Cove, the hotel overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Ellen Browning Scripps Park ? popular for picnics, strolling, jogging, and sweeping sunset views. Art galleries, upscale boutiques, and the cafes of La Jolla Village wait within walking distance.

Inside, the Mediterranean-inspired decor and architecture surround visitors with antique furnishings, Spanish mosaics, and hand-painted murals and ceilings. The 117 European-style rooms and suites display ocean, garden, or village views. A $10-million renovation, completed in 2001, added 15 spectacular Ocean Villas.

Ranging in size from 400 to 1,200 square feet, the villas come with private butler service. The hotel's three restaurants ? The Sky Room, The Mediterranean Room and Tropical Patio, and The Whaling Bar and Grill ? each form a venerable tradition in their own right. Still a reigning queen of seaside resorts, the Pink Lady of La Jolla unites the best of California's past and present.


It is expensive but worth every penny.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

la valencia is 5 star, great food, in the heart of SD's 'beverly hills' of La Jolla... world class art galleries, yuppie bars, and world class shopping....

Forgot to mention, and the views are breathtaking.

the Hyatt Regency in La Jolla is also VERY nice... has one of the est spas / fitness clubs in SD as well....

about 5 miles north of downtown SD right on the bay by Sea World

And within zoom lense of my house :1orglaugh

I like that KRL -- hey kman, how's the 4 Seasons or the Lodge at Torrey Pines?

The Lodge is nice too. If I remember the rooms go for about $375 to $600 a night.

i could lie and assume they are great but i honestly dont know... i've only stayed at the Hyatt once and been to La Valencia and the surrounding area for dinner many times...

it's good that you are asking around though, but when i dont have time to ask around, 'When in doubt, always bank on the Hyatt', so I usually end up there, always exemplary service, they cater to every whim, and i'm a picky motherfucker....

thats not our ususal pickup spot stud:winkwink:

try hotel circle for something nice and fast

Kimmy, there are a couple of 5 start resorts close to the Mansion that include golf, spa, etc... I"m not sure if you had other plan while there or not. If it is just for the party you should look for one of the resorts by clicking here: http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll...=&itdx=&part=0

You can't go wrong with the Four Seasons, though its a bit farther out in the Carslbad area...the La Costa Resort, also in the Calrsbad area is great as well....

I flipped thru Expedia to see what they had, got a couple things on the agenda since we're driving out on Friday and hanging til Sunday afternoon -- anything between Coronado and Rancho Santa Fe is fair game if its a cool place :)

The Rancho Valencia Resort is very close and looks very nice. Rooms run from 470 a night to 980.

I've stayed at the Marriott in San Diego... I found a URL http://www.marriott.com/epp/default....rshaCode=SANDT

It was actually very nice. Only two miles from the airport too.

Marriot is also a nice choice. Kimmykim email me at [email protected] if you need more choices or whatever.

Try The W

http://www.starwood.com/whotels/sear...ropertyID=1433

I stayed at that W a couple months ago, honestly all that bright white furniture gives me a headache when I'm trying to sleep...

I stayed on harbor island in the sheridan.

Was very nice, only few miles off of lahoya which has a kick ass beech.

Not real close to SD but one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at in a really cool town, Del Mar...just above Black's Beach. L'Auberge Del Mar, AWESOME room service, beautiful hotel, super comfortable:

not quite as nice as some as the above, but The Catamaran is a decent hotel for a decent price in a decent location...
at least i think it is

I'm too cheap for all that $250+ a night crap. I use hotels to sleep, shower, and maybe grab some grub. As long as the rooms are well kept and look decent, I'm cool. I think $150 is my limit...

AVIARA FOUR SEASON'S IS BY ME :-))

I also recommend Shelter Island try humphreys
or go to the Bahia Mission Bay

also I like the Catamaran in Mission Beach - upscale for that area.
La Valencia is pricey

try Hyatt at Aventine, the Marriott is at UTC as well.

Looking for more resortish type of accommodations or what?

I stayed at Humphreys when I saw you out there last and I do like it for a concert by the bay --

Two of my girlfriends are driving up with me for the weekend so I want to stay somewhere cool --

The catamaran is right on the bay and across the street from the beach... lots of stuff to do during the day. Then, its a few blocks from the busiest night life in san diego (besides downtown). An amazing amount of clubs and bars to have fun with :)

KK you should give up smoking and hit Hotel del Coronado. I know how you are with fine hotels, and this is the creme!!

You should at least grab lunch there one day!

try this hotel....

MSB I actually stayed at that Sheraton, its on the backside of the island. It is nice. Not as nice as Del Mar, but pretty solid, especially for a Sheraton.

You of all people should know I'd be the fattest bitch in prison if I quit smoking ;)

How's the shopping near there Michael?

Personally, I've always thought that the only difference between a smoking room and a non-smoking room was the ashtray.

As long as there's a soap dish it's not really any different now is it ;)

Then you must stay at the W

Ask Ken how he liked it last weekend-
the club BEACH in the hotel has heated sand at the bar and the people are all beautiful-

Can't go wrong.

Then there is always J Styles guest house :-))

Hey KB did you miss the part where I said the W gave me a headache? The furniture is way too bright in there for me, even though I do like that rooftop bar ;)

The four seasons is veeeeeeeeery nice. I had fam that liked it alot when they were in town.

When will you be in SD?

KK, I also vote for Hotel del Coronado, it's really a very nice hotel... I know, I spent two weeks there! :)

Damn Petr, 2 weeks in any single hotel would give me adult ADD ;)

Glad to hear it's nice, I'm still undecided, I so love the Four Seasons...

i must suggest El Durang
