In case you’re wondering what these hotels are like and what makes it worth a visit, here’s a brief overview of each hotel.

Hotel Angeleno (Brentwood): Other than the startlingly circular building which offers spectacular views of Los Angeles, what’s notable about the Angeleno is its location at the crossroads of Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and UCLA, with easy access to everything that visitors love about the City of Angels.

Angeleno & Erwin Hotels

Hotel Erwin (Venice): This hotel not only is located a mere 200 feet from the sand and overlooks the famed Venice Beach Boardwalk, but also embodies the spirit of Venice Beach with its funky rooms, tattoes and graffiti.

Shorebreak Hotel (Huntington Beach): Being located in Surf City USA makes the Shorebreak a rabid fan of the surf culture, and it is perfectly situated on the strand where the annual US Open of Surfing is held.

But the Shorebreak is also an upscale lifestyle hotel which happens to be located on the intersection of Main Street and the Pacific Coast Highway. This makes it a good place for a break on a Highway 1 road trip.

Pacific Edge Hotel (Laguna Beach): A beachfront location is the main asset this hotel offers, and it reflects the artsy and marine life-imbued spirit of Laguna Beach in the colorful ocean-view rooms.

Pacific Edge Hotel, Laguna Beach

A stay in the Pacific Edge Hotel and Laguna Beach is recommended for art lovers, and it is sure to be one of the most relaxing beach vacations in Southern California – which is a kindof a big deal, given the immense beauty of the Pacific Coast beaches in Orange County.

Custom Hotel (Los Angeles): This is the kind of hotel that tourists flock to. It’s close to LAX and Marina Del Rey, and offers nice views of Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles, and the Pacific Ocean.

It’s also quite trendy, especially the hotel’s pool bar and grill with the open fire pit and stadium seating. In other words, it’s a hot place for parties and events and nightlife.
