THE KINNEY

Colorful, Coastal Vibes Just Minutes from the Music

The Kinney in Marina Del Rey is a bold and eclectic boutique hotel just 0.9 miles from Venice Beach and a short drive from top Los Angeles venues. With its vibrant design, retro-modern style, and relaxed beach-town energy, it’s a fun base for concert-goers who want more than just a place to crash. The hotel offers free WiFi, an outdoor heated pool, fire pit lounge, ping pong, and even bike rentals for exploring the area. Rooms come with comfy armchairs, mini-fridge, coffee maker, and flat-screen TVs – ideal for recovering after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Kinney’s location makes it easy to get to shows in Santa Monica, Venice, and even Hollywood (just 20 miles away). After the encore, you’ll come back to a chill atmosphere, with a fire pit and pool area perfect for winding down. While it’s not in downtown LA, the nearby access to rideshares and proximity to LAX (only 5.9 miles away) make late arrivals or early exits a breeze. With check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there's enough flexibility to rest up before or after a big night.
