Calling it an “airport hotel” hardly does justice to this boutique hotel. It may be only a ten-minute drive from LAX, but Manhattan Beach, Venice Beach, and the harbor of Marina del Rey are also within easy reach. With amenities from Xbox and Wii to massage chairs and office workstations, frequent-flyers feel right at home in the hotel’s six different lounges. And the Pacific cuisine served on the pool-side terrace of the Deck33 restaurant surpasses anything you’ll find at the airport.
