La Valencia Centennial Soirée

A celebration a century in the making.

Exactly 100 years to the day since opening her doors on December 15, 1926, La Valencia invites you to an extraordinary Centennial Soirée honoring the storied past and unforgettable moments of the iconic Pink Lady. Enjoy an evening of live music and entertainment throughout the hotel, culminating in an exclusive VIP celebration in our Veranda Ballroom, featuring exquisite culinary experiences, flowing champagne, and dancing through the decades. A limited number of tickets are available for this once-in-a-century event. 

The Centennial VIP Experience

For those joining our exclusive Centennial VIP Experience, the evening begins with a welcome glass of pink bubbly on the Mediterranean Patio's Champagne Terrace. Wander through La Sala Lounge to enjoy live entertainment, and visit the private Vendimia VIP check-in to receive your commemorative VIP wristband, granting access to hosted beverages in the VIP Speakeasy and the exclusive Veranda Ballroom festivities, beverages, and dining. 

In honor of this milestone, guests are invited to witness a special commemorative proclamation from Historic Hotels of America, recognizing December 15th as “La Valencia Day.” A once-in-a-century moment celebrating the Pink Lady's storied past and the beginning of her next chapter.

At 7:00 PM, the Veranda Ballroom comes alive with an evening of exceptional cuisine, music, and dancing. Executive Chef Ernest Lopez presents an array of interactive culinary stations, from an elaborate seafood ice bar with freshly shucked oysters and a premier beef carving station to risotto prepared tableside in a wheel of Parmesan. Sip, savor, and dance the night away to the sounds of an eight-piece band, taking guests on a musical journey through the decades, from the Roaring Twenties to today.
