The Eden

An oceanfront four-star property in Los Angeles, The Eden pairs a beachfront pool deck with direct sand access, drawing couples and families wanting a coastal base rather than a downtown hotel stay. The garden terrace and outdoor fireplace face west, catching sunset over the water.

Rooms carry flat-screen TVs, hairdryers, and safes as standard, with hypoallergenic options and wheelchair-accessible layouts available on request. A bar and coffee house cover both ends of the day.

Bicycle rental gives guests an easy way to reach nearby stretches of coastline without a car.
