The Redline Venice

Perched at the mouth of the Venice canals off 17th Avenue, The Redline Venice sits three blocks from Abbot Kinney Boulevard and a five-minute walk from Venice Beach's boardwalk, putting guests within reach of both the canal district's footbridges and the beach's skate park without the parking gridlock closer to the pier.

Rooms lean toward independent travelers and couples who want walkable access to Gold's Gym and the Venice art galleries over resort-style amenities. Santa Monica's pier is a short rideshare north, making this a practical base for exploring both neighborhoods in a single day.
