Residence Inn by Marriott Marina del Rey

Beach Vibes Meet Concert Nights in Marina del Rey

Modern and relaxed, the Residence Inn by Marriott Marina del Rey is a stylish all-suite hotel tucked between Venice Beach and Marina Del Rey. With a breezy coastal vibe, it’s perfect for unwinding after a night out—yet still close enough to LA’s top music venues and nightlife. Only 5 miles from LAX and just a short walk from the beach, it's a great home base for music lovers who want sandy toes by day and setlists by night.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a favorite for fans heading to shows in Venice, Santa Monica, or even downtown LA thanks to its walkable location and quick access to rideshares. The peaceful marina setting means you can sleep soundly post-concert—far enough from the noise, but not from the action. Late check-in (from 4 PM) is flexible for travelers arriving just before the encore, and the 24-hour front desk is always ready to help you get settled. Free bikes make getting around easy, especially for nearby beachside venues.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for spacious suites with kitchenettes
• Solo travelers catching a dream show on the coast
• Couples combining beach days with concert nights
• Fans needing a peaceful place to crash after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value near the beach

Food and Drink Options

Whether you’re grabbing a late bite or brunching after a night out, you’re covered here. The hotel has an on-site restaurant and bar, plus 24/7 front desk assistance for snacks and essentials. Several walkable eateries line the marina, and with in-room kitchenettes available in select rooms, you can heat up leftovers or prep a quick bite. Breakfast is available on-site, perfect for those slower mornings post-show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more chill than club, it features a laid-back bar for evening drinks. You're also within easy reach of Venice Beach nightlife, including casual lounges, beach bars, and live music spots. Santa Monica’s vibrant scene is just a short drive or rideshare away.

What People Say

• Many mention the excellent location near the beach and restaurants
• Travelers praise the friendly staff and peaceful marina atmosphere
• Reviewers often highlight the comfortable beds—great for recovering after a long night

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is close to the beach, it’s a bit removed from downtown LA venues—so plan ahead for concert transportation. Parking is available but comes with a nightly fee, which some guests find a bit steep. Also, while there's no formal room service, the kitchenette and nearby dining more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Residence Inn by Marriott Marina del Rey is a laid-back, beachside base that gives concert-goers a peaceful place to recharge—without missing out on the action.
