When
talking about “airport hotels” what usually comes to mind is a budget chain
hotel with plain rooms, a shared airport shuttle, and continental breakfast
(or if you’re lucky you might get steam table bacon and eggs).
Travelers
making quick trips to a city want something close to the
airport, and are used to compromising their standards for convenience. But that isn’t necessary if traveling to Los
Angeles, as there’s a hidden gem just 10 min from LAX!
The
Ritz Carlton Marina del Rey is a tranquil seaside hideaway only 6 miles from
the airport where travelers can escape the hectic city pace. And it packs many surprises for first time visitors.
At first glance it looks like a typical city
hotel, but once on property guests discover all the amenities of a full service
resort: the only waterfront swimming
pool in Los Angeles, a beautiful lawn used for events and outdoor movies, an
outdoor fire pit, 2 lighted tennis courts, a gym, and even bicycle rentals.
And
it’s only 1 mile from Venice Beach and minutes away from Santa Monica and
Beverly Hills, so it’s a great option for business travelers who want to bring the
family along.
The
proximity to LAX also makes it the perfect gathering spot for family members
flying in for family events, holidays, or even a reunion. I recommend booking a room on the exclusive Club Level for even more value, where complimentary drinks and snacks are offered several times throughout the day. It’s perfect for keeping those always hungry kids
satisfied!
