Venice V Hotel - Los Angeles

Set right on the sands of Venice Beach, Venice V Hotel offers a rare chance to stay right on the oceanfront in one of California’s most iconic neighbourhoods. As the area’s only beachfront lifestyle hotel, it places you front row to the Boardwalk and the legendary skate park, with sea views from every room. Housed within a beautifully restored 1915 landmark building, the hotel blends historic character with modern comfort. You’ll especially appreciate this setting if you’re drawn to independent design and a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere, with curated experiences such as surf and skate lessons, art tours and wellness sessions helping you connect with the local scene.

Step outside and you’re immediately part of Venice Beach’s most iconic scene. The world-famous Boardwalk runs right past the hotel, offering eclectic dining, street performers and endless people watching. Muscle Beach sits under half a mile north, while Venice Beach Skate Park is just steps away to the west.
