Venice Beach is one of LA's hippest neighbourhoods. There is, of course, some of the city's best stretches of beach and a pretty network of canals that give the area its name. Beyond that, expect to find cool artsy shops, cafes, innovative restaurants, and a young and trendy crowd. The accommodation options in the area very much reflect this scene, with the best hotels in Venice Beach generally being independent boutiques or design-led stays with a youthful feel. For something a little smarter, luxury options lie around Marina del Ray and also benefit from lovely harbour views. So, if this vibrant area fits the bill for your next break, why not browse through our hotel experts' top picks to start planning your stay?
