The Kinney - Venice Beach

Wrapped around a converted 1940s apartment building on Washington Boulevard, The Kinney - Venice Beach sits three blocks from Venice's Marina Peninsula and a ten-minute walk from the Venice Beach boardwalk — a practical base for travelers who want beach access without paying Abbot Kinney Boulevard's premium rates.

Rooms keep a stripped-down, motel-modern layout with communal courtyards rather than corridors; a rooftop deck and bar open to non-hotel guests most evenings. Bike rentals are arranged at the front desk for the boardwalk path running north to Santa Monica Pier.
