The Bar/Lounge at La Valencia Hotel

"Several dining and drinking options are available, including the new bistro and bar, Café La Rue, and the always inviting La Sala, a Spanish-flavored lounge with plush couches, gorgeous ocean views, and piano entertainment in the evenings"

"La Valencia also has three restaurants and a pair of bars, all of which attract a mix of tourists and hip locals"

"Two on-site restaurants, a lively bar, and Spanish-inspired saltwater swimming pool facing the ocean are just part of this unique property's charm"

"  A choice of five restaurants, destinations in their own right, from the classic Whaling Bar and Grill to the ocean and firmament views of the Sky Room"

"Fans revere the "million-dollar view" of La Jolla Cove from this "classic" beachfront "grande dame", "gently updated" to preserve its "old-world charm" and "elegance", enhanced by "superior", "responsive" service; rooms are "beautiful" and "luxurious" with WiFi (some have whirlpools and balconies, and in-room spa treatments are available) – bolstered by the "impressive cuisine" (brunch "sets the standard" ), "wonderful" music in the lobby and "top-notch" bar, ensuring your stay here is "worth every penny"

"Other La Jolla establishments are steps away, but be sure to have a cocktail while gazing at the ocean in La Sala Lobby Lounge, an elegant space with live music Wednesday through Sunday"

"Even if you don’t stay, consider a toast – and a pinkie – to the sunset from its Spanish Revival lounge, La Sala"

"Daily live music and craft cocktails in the La Salsa lounge add to the hotel’s festive appeal"

"The distinguished sea-view lounge is pure 1920s, with a flock of plump chairs and sofas prized by the local socialites seeking a place to rest their shopping bags"
