STAY OPEN Venice Beach
A beachfront stay one minute from Venice Beach
About this hotel
STAY OPEN Venice Beach puts guests directly on the sand, one minute on foot from Venice Beach and 700 meters from the Venice Beach Boardwalk, with a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere built around the beach lifestyle rather than formal hotel service. Rooms are air-conditioned with balconies or terraces, sea views, a washing machine, a tea and coffee maker and free WiFi, giving guests self-catering flexibility alongside the beachfront setting. Free bicycles make exploring the boardwalk easy, and a lounge and outdoor seating areas give guests places to relax without leaving the property. Yoga and fitness classes, film nights and barbecue facilities add a social, activity-driven rhythm rarely found at more conventional beachfront hotels. Los Angeles International Airport sits nine kilometers away, keeping the location practical as well as scenic. It suits travelers who want an active, laid-back beach stay rather than a formal hotel experience.

Our take
Stay Open Venice Beach is about the sand and the community rather than the height: the property sits directly on the beachfront, one minute on foot from Venice Beach, with a sun terrace and sea views. Free bicycles, yoga classes, film nights and barbecue facilities give it a social feel, and rooms come with a balcony or terrace and a washing machine. A 9.4 rating from almost 400 reviews is excellent. I would book it for an active beach stay, not for a rooftop bar.
- ✓Grab one of the free bicycles to explore the Venice Beach Boardwalk rather than walking the full stretch on foot.
- ✓Check the schedule for yoga classes and film nights, since the social program changes and adds real value to a stay here.
- ✓Book a room with a balcony or terrace if sea views matter to you, since not every room type includes one.

Why guests love itA pair of surfers in their twenties chose STAY OPEN Venice Beach for being a minute from the sand, and the sun terrace turned into their evening routine. They rode the free bicycles along the beach path by day, joined a yoga class one morning, and came back for the barbecue as the sea views turned orange. Film night kept them in on the last evening. Guests wanting privacy or classic hotel service will find it very communal.
