The hype

The Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey
$400-$600 / naktį
Užsisakykite, jei You want a waterfront luxury retreat close to LAX but far from the Hollywood chaos, complete with marina views and a saltwater pool.
Kodėl Žmonės Tai Mėgsta
- The only waterfront saltwater pool in Los Angeles
- Excellent farm-to-table dining at Cast & Plow
- Proximity to LAX without the typical airport hotel vibe
Greita apžvalga: It's a beautiful marina-front property, but inconsistent housekeeping and steep hidden fees make it hard to justify the five-star price tag.
Peržiūrėjo @Blondyinsider: My stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey was the ultimate serene escape. I loved starting my mornings in the massive fitness center, followed by breakfast on the terrace watching the yachts. The whole vibe is just so effortlessly luxurious and relaxing.
