Hotel Maya, Long Beach













Hotel Maya feels more Mexican resort than city escape, as the Long Beach hotel is a sprawling estate with ocean views, an enormous pool and a real tropical feel. With a climate like LA’s, it would be easy to treat this like a beach holiday and spend your days soaking up the rays – the poolside cabanas will make that seem particularly appetizing. However, with Hollywood just over a 30-minute drive away, you’re close enough to the action to sightsee in the morning and be back poolside in time for afternoon cocktails.
