Bobbing boats in a sleek marina provide a nautical backdrop to the Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey. This is the Los Angeles waterfront for the dressed-up crowd.
EXPERIENCE
You simply must arrive at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey by boat. A vacation without a 20-ft. yacht in tow will single you out as a landlubber and almost certainly exclude you from every boating conversation. No yacht? If you're confident you can wing it in a pair of worn-looking deck shoes, the Los Angeles hotel is well worth a visit. Just prepare to spend a vacation fabricating tales of the high seas.
Local ingredients and rich international recipes wow hungry diners night after night in the Jer-Ne Restaurant and Bar. You'll find satiated guests and savvy locals on the Marina front patio with champagne flute in hand.
Well aware that this is a 24-hour city, the always-open room service covers any midnight pangs and scuppers your best intentions not to eat breakfast in bed. Caramel Italian marble in the vast bathroom gives you plenty of surfaces for the pre-evening preen.

LOCATION
Since it's only a 10-minute walk to Venice Beach from the hotel, all you really need for a stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey is a rolled up towel. Drive 45 minutes to Malibu in the north for more beach days or 20 minutes to downtown Los Angeles for palm-lined shopping streets.
