- The Inn at Venice Beach
- 327 Washington Blvd.
(310) 821-2557 Note to boutique hoteliers: Venice is in need! In the meantime, this cheerful little inn, just a stone's throw from the beach, is our pick. Popular with families of surfers, the attire du jour is flip-flops and swim trunks. A full breakfast is served on the sunny outdoor patio.
- Viceroy Santa Monica
- 1819 Ocean Drive
(310) 260-7500 For an upscale experience, make the quick drive from Venice to this Santa Monica hot spot—and don't let the c. 1962 Holiday Inn exterior fool you. The hip, Kelly Wearstler-designed haven offers poolside cabana dinners, cocktails in a lovely library and in-room spa services.
