About this Hotel

Price From $179

Surf and skate culture inspired the décor in the hotel's 81 rooms and 38 suites. Graffiti-style art covers the doors, and safety-yellow metal partitions in the rooms display sunglasses for sale. Private balconies overlook the hopping Venice boardwalk. We especially love the pillow menu and the open-air rooftop lounge, which has views of the Pacific Ocean, 250 feet away.

Plus The restaurant Hash serves from-scratch breakfast and dinners made with local farmer's market ingredients.

Minus What's with the fireplaces in the suites? Really, in Venice?

Free Wi-Fi? Yes.
