Los Angeles Beachfront Hotels
Smack dab in the middle of Venice’s eclectic and ever-changing atmosphere, the Venice Beach Suites & Hotel gives guests a front row seat to the sights and sounds of the Venice boardwalk and Pacific Ocean. All twenty-four studios offer queen-size beds, mini-kitchens, exposed brick walls, and hardwood floors. Family-owned with an homage to the rich history of Venice, this hotel is ideal for the adventure-seeking traveler looking for a place to call home for a few nights or a few weeks.
Catering to the business traveler or savvy tourist, Venice Breeze Suites offers laid-back luxury. All loft-like rooms come with a kitchenette, perfect for an extended stay, with optional urban or ocean views depending on the floor. Converted from apartments, this hotel does not offer an onsite restaurant, but guests can venture a few steps outside to experience Venice Beach’s culture and cuisine.
As charming as it sounds, Venice Beach House is rich with the history of the beach town of Venice while providing a low-key, home-like feel for vacationers. Each unique guest room tells a story with authentic vintage décor combined with comfortable furnishings. Guests can enjoy breakfast at the Beach House or venture just one block away to find Venice Beach and Boardwalk.
With its signature pink facade, Venice on the Beach Hotel is distinctively California. Rooms are simple yet comfortable with queen-sized beds, mini fridges, and a coastal vibe. A suite offers a full kitchen as well as more space to spread out. With the Venice Boardwalk outside the front door and a rooftop deck for relaxing in the sun, guests will find plenty to do and see.
AIR Venice
Featuring a casual, contemporary design in a renovated historic Venice building, AIR Venice is just steps from the sand and surf. Rooms are spacious and bright with designer furnishings and views of the ocean and Venice Boardwalk. Guests will enjoy free wi-fi, laundry facilities, and close proximity to Venice’s eateries, nightlife, and beach activities.
Small yet charming, Su Casa Oceanfront Suites offers 12 boutique-style suites with ocean views and bohemian-style luxury. Kitchen areas were recently remodeled with new refrigerators and stoves. Custom-designed beds welcome guests after a day of lounging in the sun or exploring Venice Beach right outside.
The Cadillac Hotel
Part of Venice Beach for over 100 years, The Cadillac Hotel offers sleek, updated rooms in a variety of layouts from queen-sized beds to ocean view suites and apartment-style accommodations. The sands of Venice Beach are right outside the door, as is the bike path leading north to Malibu or south to Manhattan Beach.
This boutique hotel next to Venice Beach is eclectic and modern with a welcoming vibe. Every guest room is unique, from family-friendly suites to ocean- and city-view rooms with private balconies. Guests can head downstairs for local cuisine and drinks at Barlo, the hotel’s in-house restaurant, or venture up to the rooftop bar for drinks with a view.
With a beach house feel but featuring hotel perks like a pool, spa, and onsite restaurants, Shutters on the Beach manages to be both laid-back and elegant. The front of the hotel literally touches the sand of Santa Monica Beach and many guest rooms boast sweeping views of the Pacific. A bike path just outside welcomes guests to venture to the nearby Santa Monica Pier.
A sister hotel to Shutters on the Beach, Casa del Mar’s front steps lead directly to the sand. Designed in an elegant beach theme, guest rooms feature panoramic views of the coastline or the cityscape. The hotel lobby has live music on weekends while the hotel’s two restaurants provide casual and upscale dining choices against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.
Offering chic and eco-conscious guest rooms set across from the beach, the Shore Hotel is all about amenities with an environmentally-friendly spin. A solar-heated pool looks out on Santa Monica Beach where guests can venture down the bike path to the Santa Monica Pier or downtown Santa Monica. Locally-sourced onsite restaurant Blue Plate Taco caters to guests on their way to or from the beach.
While not right on the beach, The Loews in Santa Monica is worth mentioning. It is large, upscale hotel located near the Santa Monica pier and is just steps away from the beach. It also has one of the best ocean view pools in LA (pictured above).
