Gjelina Hotel

Relaxed Beachside Vibes Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and effortlessly cool, Gjelina Hotel puts you right in the heart of Venice Beach, just a short walk from both Venice and Santa Monica Beaches. With its breezy coastal style and boutique feel, this 4-star hotel is perfect for travelers looking to soak up the sun by day and dive into LA’s music scene by night. Rooms are air-conditioned, comfortable, and come with free WiFi and private bathrooms — ideal for recharging after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a quick ride to some of LA’s most iconic venues, while still enjoying a peaceful retreat by the beach. The hotel’s flexible, multilingual reception makes late arrivals and spontaneous plans easy. While it’s close to the action, the surrounding area is famously laid-back — perfect for unwinding post-show. Plus, with Los Angeles International Airport only 5.6 miles away, getting in and out is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a stylish base near Venice nightlife
- Solo travelers catching a dream show and looking to explore the coast
- Couples making a weekend of music, beach walks, and sunset views
- Fans craving a quieter recovery spot away from the city buzz
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a boutique experience

Food and Drink Options

Gjelina Hotel keeps things simple but satisfying. A continental breakfast is available, ideal for late risers recovering from concerts. The on-site snack bar offers light bites and drinks, and the Venice neighborhood is packed with walkable options, from casual tacos to upscale dining — many of which stay open late.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans chill, you’re steps from Venice’s buzzing bar scene and a short ride to Santa Monica’s livelier lounges and live music spots. Grab a local craft beer at a nearby beachside pub or catch a DJ set just down the boardwalk.

What People Say

Guests love the location — just minutes from the beach and a short drive to major venues. Reviews praise the hotel’s clean, modern rooms, friendly multilingual staff, and the overall relaxed atmosphere. It's a favorite for travelers who want to mix music, beach time, and Venice charm.

Areas for Improvement

The 10:30 AM checkout might feel a little early after a late night out, so plan accordingly. There's no full-service restaurant on-site, but with so many local eateries nearby, most guests don’t mind.

The Bottom Line

Gjelina Hotel is the perfect Venice Beach base for concert-goers who want a stylish, low-key stay near both live music and the ocean.
