Venice Beach Hotels on the Beach
For a true on-the-beach experience, Venice Beach delivers. Several properties sit directly on the sand or boardwalk, including the highly rated Venice V Hotel (8.7) and the more affordable Air Venice On The Beach (7.5). For a two-star option with character, Venice On The Beach Hotel offers a rooftop terrace and a prime location. Note that 'on the beach' here often means a few steps to the sand via a rear exit or a short walk down to the boardwalk, so check the property details for exact access.
Where to Stay in Venice Beach
Choosing where to stay in Venice Beach shapes your whole trip. If you want to be in the middle of the action, pick a hotel along the boardwalk near Windward Avenue. If you prefer calm, look toward the residential streets east of Pacific Avenue, where places like The Kinney - Venice Beach (8.4) offer a courtyard retreat. For a more upscale, apartment-style stay, Venice Suites provides kitchenettes and a rooftop terrace with ocean views. Prices vary widely, from budget hostels around $39 to the luxury of The Redline Venice at $439 a night.
Frequently asked
What is the best beach hotel in Los Angeles?
Among the beach hotels reviewed, the highest rated is Stay Open Venice Beach with an impressive 9.2 rating, though it's an adults-only hostel. For a traditional hotel, Venice V Hotel (8.7) and Inn At Playa Del Rey (8.7) share the top spot among rated properties.
Which Los Angeles beach is best for staying at a hotel?
Venice Beach is the most popular choice, offering the iconic boardwalk and a mix of hotels from budget to upscale. Marina del Rey provides a quieter, more marina-focused stay with waterfront views and easy beach access. Play del Rey offers a more residential, laid-back vibe.
How much does a hotel cost per night in Los Angeles?
Hotel prices in Los Angeles range from about $60 for budget motels to over $600 for waterfront suites. The typical price for a beach hotel is around $212 per night, but you can find deals at hostels or in less central areas like San Pedro.
Is Venice Beach walkable at night?
Venice Beach's boardwalk and main streets are generally active at night, but it's wise to stick to well-lit areas. The Ocean Front Walk can be less crowded after dark. Many hotels are within a short walk of restaurants and bars, so you can safely get around on foot, but standard urban caution is advised.
How far is Los Angeles International Airport from the beach hotels?
LAX is roughly 5 to 10 miles from the beach hotels in Venice Beach and Marina del Rey, depending on traffic—a drive that can take 20-40 minutes. For San Pedro hotels, it's about 15 miles south via the 110 Freeway. Many hotels in these areas offer parking, but rideshare is often the most convenient option.
Beach Hotels in Los Angeles
Los Angeles's beach hotels cluster around two distinct shorelines: the lively, bohemian stretch of Venice Beach with its boardwalk and canals, and the more laid-back marinas of Marina del Rey and Playa del Rey. Here, 'beach hotel' can mean anything from a five-minute walk to the sand to a doorstep on the boardwalk itself, and the price swings accordingly. From budget-friendly hostels at $60 a night to waterfront suites at $665, the range reflects how differently people want to experience the coast.
Venice Beach is the heart of the scene, where you can roll out of bed onto the boardwalk and watch the skate park wake up. Marina del Rey offers a more sheltered, harbor-side stay with marina views and easy access to the beach via the bike path. Prices here are generally lower than in Santa Monica, but you're still paying a premium for proximity to the Pacific. For those who want to be steps from the sand without the boardwalk chaos, the quieter streets of Playa del Rey are a smart pick.
The bottom line
This collection of beach hotels suits travelers who prioritize coastal proximity and the unique vibe of Los Angeles's shoreline neighborhoods. It's perfect for first-time visitors wanting the quintessential Venice Beach experience, couples seeking a romantic oceanfront room, or surfers who want to wake up to the sound of waves. If you're more focused on sightseeing beyond the coast, or need specific amenities like a pool, you might prefer the broader pages for 'Hotels in Los Angeles' or those with indoor pools. For those on a tight budget, the 'Cheap and budget hotels in Los Angeles' page offers more economical stays inland. If you're driving and require parking, check 'Hotels with parking in Los Angeles' for a list that includes properties with parking facilities, though note that some beach hotels offer free parking as a perk.
