The Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey

Waterfront Luxury Just Minutes from the Music

The Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey is a polished, upscale hotel set right on the marina, offering a tranquil escape just a few miles from Los Angeles’ most iconic beaches and concert venues. With serene views, elegant rooms featuring private balconies, and plush interiors, it’s a refined base for anyone combining a love of music with a taste for the finer things.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel is just a short drive from major music venues across West L.A., Venice, and downtown. It offers a peaceful atmosphere for post-show winding down, with soundproofed rooms and private balconies perfect for soaking in the coastal breeze. With a 4:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM checkout, you’ll have time to rest and recharge after a late night. On-site valet and easy ride-share access make getting to and from shows hassle-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want a stylish, share-worthy stay near the beach and music hotspots
• Solo travelers treating themselves to a bucket-list concert with a luxury touch
• Couples planning a romantic weekend with great music and ocean views
• Fans wanting peace and quiet after a high-energy show
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking to splurge on a special experience

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurants serve up Californian cuisine with marina and Pacific Ocean views. The poolside restaurant is perfect for a casual bite, and the lobby lounge offers craft cocktails and light fare. While full 24/7 room service isn’t listed, the hotel caters well to late-night cravings. Breakfast is available for those who sleep in after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more serene than buzzing, you’re close to the action. Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and Culver City’s nightlife are all a short ride away. The lobby lounge is great for a quiet drink, and you’re never far from live music and beachside bars.

What People Say

Guests rave about the peaceful marina views, impeccable service, and beautifully maintained rooms. Many highlight the calming atmosphere as the perfect contrast to a vibrant concert night. The location is also praised for being close to both the beach and major L.A. attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel can feel a bit removed from central L.A. nightlife—great for relaxing, but you’ll need to plan transport to get to some venues. Valet parking is on the pricier side, and dining on-site, while high-quality, may not suit every budget.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a luxurious, laid-back place to recharge after a concert, The Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey delivers with style, comfort, and unforgettable marina views.
