The best hotels in Redondo Beach

Overlooking sandy shores and sailboats galore, The Portofino Hotel & Marina is a premiere oceanfront getaway set in sea lion-clad King Harbor. Nestled on its own private Redondo Beach peninsula, the maritime resort from Nobel House Hotel Group offers rooms with secluded patios or balconies and picturesque ocean views. For honeymooners looking for the ultimate romantic escape, book the Ocean Jet Tub room, complete with a Jacuzzi for two, a rainfall shower and a private patio for catching the sunset. Check out the property’s prized restaurant, BALEENkitchen, for eclectic fine dining (offering plenty of seafood, of course) with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop. And don’t forget to take your complimentary beach cruiser up and down the oceanfront bike path—it’s a must-do. 

Situated on the breathtaking Redondo Beach marina by King Harbor, the ultra-cool, contemprary Shade Hotel is the perfect getaway for both tourists and Angelenos wanting a relaxing staycation. The dock-side hotel—which also has a second location in nearby Manhattan Beach—offers views of the coastline from Palos Verdes to Malibu, visible from the rooftop pool and deck. The 54-room boutique getaway is equipped with free wifi, complimentary beach breakfasts, complimentary beach cruiser bicycles and valet parking for your car and your bike. In addition to a range of coveted amenities, you can also enjoy craft cocktails, oysters and more California coastal cuisine at Shade Hotel's indoor-outdoor restaurant, Sea Level. 

Nestled between the Redondo Beach Pier and the King Harbor Marina, the upscale Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach boasts a prime location and coveted amenities to boot. The hotel features a lobby bar, business facilities, an ocean-view recreation deck, a swimming pool and hot tub, dining options and a tennis court. Treat yourself to a massage or facial at the hotel's full-service day spa (you're on vacation, right?).  And note the hotel's location; it's steps away from the best restaurants, beaches, shopping and nightlife that the beach town has to offer.  

If you're looking for a trustworthy, reasonably-priced hotel that's close enough to all the happenings in town, you can count on the Best Western Plus Redondo Beach Inn. A favorite for frequent flyers, business travelers and families (after all, Disneyland and Universal Studios aren't too far away), the hotel is located along Pacific Coast Highway, just a short drive from LAX and minutes from the beach town's buzzy marina and pier. Amenities include complimentary breakfast, a heated outdoor pool and poolside cafe, an exercise facility and on-site bike rentals. Take a stroll through nearby Riviera Village to check out a bevy of eclectic, indie shops or, better yet, ride your bike along the beach. 

Looking to stay in the South Bay for a reasonable price? The Residence Inn by Marriott Los Angeles Redondo Beach comes equipped with 172 suites, complimentary wifi and breakfast, coin operated laundry machines, a fitness center, an outdoor pool and even a grocery service for those in it for the long-haul. The hotel is located just under five miles from the South Bay's most happening locales: the Redondo Beach Pier, the Manhattan Beach Pier and the Hermosa Beach Pier. While the hotel is technically in Redondo Beach, it's close enough to the area's serounding beach towns that you can experience the best of the entire South Bay.
