Only 30 to 40 minutes from my home in West Hollywood, lies an oasis of peace and relaxation. Honestly you feel like you’re in another part of California. With nature preserve the Ballona Wetlands providing your view, and all of the beautiful egret and squirrel activity, the Inn at Playa Del Rey is a stellar choice for a quick romantic getaway. And it’s so close to Los Angeles that you can see downtown in the distance off of your balcony.
Next time I want to getaway to Santa Barbara or Palm Springs I will just book a couple nights stay here instead. It is tranquil and 4 blocks from the beach. They have bicycles for your site seeing enjoyment as well as good old-fashioned walking. Either way you are very close to the beach and Marina Del Rey. They give a bike path map, so you can bike to the Marina or The Manhattan Beach pier in no time.
The rooms are quite and serene, and when darkness falls, you can see the big dipper from your room. The view at night is all of the cities of Angels twinkling evening lights. Amenities at Inn at Playa Del Rey Include: full hot buffet breakfast featuring market fresh fruits, home baked breads and egg soufflés. Complimentary California wines, hors d’oeuvres every evening, afternoon tea, lemonade and cookies.
The Inn provides bicycles for a glorious ride along the nearby beach. There is a private sunbathing garden, birding guides, classic movies, and massages can be arranged, guest business center with computer and high-speed internet connection, meeting facilities, wireless internet, complimentary parking, and convenient access to all of Los Angeles. There are so many pluses to this incredible property you just have to see it to believe.
The staff is extremely helpful, but they won’t overwhelm you with their presence. They are around when you need them, and are invisible when you don’t.
The décor is just lovely, lots of shabby chic type furniture, with birds neatly placed all over the hotel. Fireplaces and Jacuzzi’s in lots of the rooms, with large flat screen TV’s.
The quiet and calm will stick with you long after you stay. What a gem in our great city, another one of Playa Del Rey’s hidden treasures!
