Getting here

Travel

Fly into San Diego

San Diego International Airport (SAN) is the closest, about 14 miles south of the hotel. Plan on 20 to 30 minutes by car, and longer on the Friday of a holiday weekend.

From the airport

A taxi or rideshare takes you straight to the hotel's front door on Prospect Street. If you're staying in the Village, you can skip the rental car.

Getting around

The Village is easy on foot. George's is a two minute walk up Prospect Street and the Cove is just below the hotel. Hotel guests can also ride the La Valencia golf cart anywhere within a mile.
