Empress Saved our Anniversary Trip, Thank you!!

The Room Even Had A Piano
"Came to La Jolla for a quick weekend trip from Los Angeles. Read all the good reviews and decided to give The Empress a try. Glad I did. The hotel is on the corner of Fay and Silverado in the heart of La Jolla Village, within easy walking distance of all the Village stores and restaurants and La Jolla Cove."

Lovely historic hotel close to everything in La Jolla.

"This is a gorgeous renovated hotel right in the middle of La Jolla. Parking is not available but they do have curbside valet and there is a parking garage over the road. We were lucky to be there on a Sunday so we were able to park free on the road until the morning. They have the yummiest cookies at check-in"-Vivienne N

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rooms can I reserve before it counts as a group booking?

You can hold up to nine guest rooms per night under a standard reservation. Once a booking goes beyond that, it shifts into group-booking territory, which comes with its own terms and is subject to cancellation if those terms aren't met — so it's worth reaching out early if your guest list is on the larger side.

Who do I contact to start planning a wedding room block?

Weddings and room blocks are handled by a dedicated sales team, separate from general hotel reservations. Reach them directly at 858-999-0857 or sales@empress-hotel.com, or fill out the inquiry form on this page and someone will follow up with availability and next steps.

Can we host wedding events on-site, or do we need an outside venue?

Both are options. The hotel's own Garden Terrace works well for smaller moments like a rehearsal dinner or post-wedding brunch, while the ceremony or reception itself can be held at one of the several La Jolla venues within easy walking distance — so your wedding party can stay close without needing to drive between locations.
