Venice Beach Suites & Hotel

Venice, Marina Del Rey & Playa del Rey


Old Venice funky and old-sandal comfy, this place right on the Boardwalk scores big for bend-over-backwards staff. Take Betsy, the creaky 1913 elevator, upstairs to access the new roof deck. Below, rooms have exposed-brick walls, wrought-iron bed frames, kitchenettes, wood floors, rattan furniture, built-in closets and rates that vary with the view. It’s ideal for long stays.

There's no air-con, but sea breezes and ceiling fans do the trick. Off-site parking usually available nearby.
