AC Hotel by Marriott Los Angeles South Bay

Modern Comfort Meets SoCal Cool Near the LA Music Scene

AC Hotel by Marriott Los Angeles South Bay is a stylish, 4-star hotel located in El Segundo, just a short drive from some of Los Angeles’ most iconic music venues. With sleek design, a rooftop terrace, and thoughtful amenities, it blends European-inspired sophistication with laid-back California vibes. Whether you're here for a major arena show or a local indie set, this hotel offers a relaxing retreat after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a smart pick for music fans who want a quieter base away from the chaos of downtown, but still close to the action. You'll be just minutes from LAX (ideal for out-of-town fans), and within easy reach of venues via rideshare or rental. Late check-in (from 4:00 PM) is perfect for those arriving the day of the show, and the 24/7 front desk means you can roll in late without hassle. Soundproofing is solid, so you can sleep off the post-show buzz in peace.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish, shareable space
• Solo travelers flying in for a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a weekend escape out of a show
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space outside the downtown core
• Budget-conscious music fans who still want modern amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and rooftop terrace bar are perfect for a light bite or cocktail before or after the show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel does offer late-night dining options and you’re within walking distance of casual eateries in El Segundo. Buffet breakfast is available—and much appreciated after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the rooftop bar is a standout for pre- or post-show drinks, offering city views and a chill vibe. You’re also a short drive from bars and lounges in Venice, Manhattan Beach, and downtown LA, giving you options to keep the night going—or wind it down quietly.

What People Say

Guests love the modern, clean rooms, helpful staff, and the convenient airport shuttle. The rooftop bar gets high marks for atmosphere, and many reviewers mention the hotel is a great value for LA. Concert-goers in particular appreciate the easy access to venues without the noise and crowds of staying downtown.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t right in the heart of the LA nightlife scene, so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most major venues. Some guests mention that while the on-site dining is good, more late-night food options nearby would be a plus.

The Bottom Line

AC Hotel by Marriott Los Angeles South Bay is a sleek, quiet home base with just the right mix of comfort, style, and location for music fans looking to enjoy LA’s concert scene without the downtown hassle.
