Down on the sunny, soft sands of Southern California, Venice Beach has an almost mystical allure for local skaters, surfers, bohemians and bodybuilders. Vibrant and eccentric, this LA neighborhood is as iconic as the Hollywood sign itself, and has a vast array of places where visitors can drink, dine and stay within close proximity to the beach. Here is our guide to some of the best cheap hotels in Venice Beach.

The Inn at Venice Beach

A short walk across the Grand Canal to the ocean, the Inn at Venice Beach has captured the energy of the famous boardwalk in the bold artworks on its walls, both inside and out. As the exterior is adorned with the highly photographed Romy the Mermaid, a well-known 18ft (5m) mosaic, you will find your way home easily enough. This is a super-friendly and intimate place to stay, surrounded by great boutique shopping and a host of hip bars, cafés and restaurants for you to discover.

With views straight out onto palm trees, you could only get closer to the ocean than the Cadillac Hotel by camping on the beach. The Cadillac Hotel is halfway between Venice and Santa Monica piers, offering that real Venice experience. Sunset views and the opportunity to peer down into the hustle of the strip are well worth the climb, and bright rooms and a truly authentic affair await you.

For those in search of an affordable boutique hotel, Air Venice on Ocean Front Walk offers casual luxury that usually comes at a price. Exposed brickwork, wooden flooring and lots of glass make your surroundings feel contemporary without taking away any of the warmth or the plush comforts you need. Using their bicycle rental couldn’t be easier either, and will have you literally riding off into the sunset in moments.

Expect striking decor at the Kinney, reflecting the fun energy of this hotel with its own dipping pool and firepit for when the sun goes down. You might even convince yourself that you have woken up on the set of Big Brother. Smiles all round go a very long way, and the staff here make a point of setting a friendly tone, adding to the material comforts. It’s a short walk to the famous Marina del Rey, which leads you right down to the ocean.

Su Casa prides itself on its ocean views, its people watching and the music and atmosphere filtering up from the heart of Venice below. The natural whiteness of the rooms, at odds with the generally funky decor of the area, gives it a serene and detached energy. If you want to eat in, some rooms have a full kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, or you can dine out with a discount at the legendary Fig Tree on the boardwalk.
