★★★★ 1. Marriott Marina del Rey4100 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292 The 370 stylish rooms and suites at Marriott Marina del Rey have fine views either over the calm waters of the marina (400 feet away, across one road) or north towards the Santa Monica Mountains. The Pacific Ocean is 4 blocks west, and LAX is reached by an easy 5 mile drive south. Although one of Marriott's older properties, the rooms and public areas are well maintained, and the subtle lighting & decor create a relaxing ambience. There are three dining outlets on site; Glow Lounge open for lunch & dinner, a lobby bar, and the upscale Stones Restaurant serving California-style dishes for breakfast & dinner. The hotel's outdoor pool is on the sunny south side of the property, enclosed by palm trees and other tropical plants. For meetings the Marriott provides 18 rooms, totaling 18,000 sq ft of space. |
★★★★ 2. Jamaica Bay Inn Marina Del Rey, Tapestry Collection by Hilton4175 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey, CA 90232 The best aspect of the Jamaica Bay Inn is the scenic location, right next to a sandy beach at the edge of the Marina del Rey harbor - south facing rooms look out over a pleasant garden area, setting for the pool and hot tub, and beyond to a grove of palm trees growing right by the ocean. Select accommodations have private balconies. The hotel is quiet since it sits on a side road, one block from the sometimes busy Washington Street, which leads directly to the Venice Beach boardwalk after 0.4 miles. The on-site cafe is open for breakfast and dinner, while meals are also available from several other nearby restaurants. |
