Venice V Hotel

The three-star Venice V Hotel occupies a low-rise building on Westminster Avenue, a residential lane one block off the Venice Beach boardwalk and roughly a five-minute walk from Abbot Kinney's shops and restaurants.

Rooms stay simple rather than styled, geared toward guests prioritizing beach access over lobby design; several open directly onto exterior walkways facing the street rather than a courtyard.

The location suits travelers wanting boardwalk and Muscle Beach within walking distance while avoiding the traffic and parking pressure of Main Street closer to the pier.
