Portofino Hotel & Marina  

On Redondo Beach’s harborfront, a boutique waterfront hotel steps from King Harbor and a five-minute walk to Seaside Lagoon and the International Boardwalk. About six miles from LAX and minutes from Hermosa and Manhattan beaches, with easy access to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Universal Studios. Marina and ocean views set the scene for both family-friendly getaways and business trips.

Rooms range from elegant guestrooms to lavish suites with private furnished balconies or patios. Expect pillowtop beds with down comforters, iPod docking stations, LCD TVs, rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries. The vibe is chic coastal—spa on site, complimentary beach cruisers and a fitness center keep the energy up.

Soak in the oceanfront outdoor pool or unwind in the hot tub; an indoor pool is also available. 24-hour fitness center, diving club, picnic area, concierge services, self-parking (fees apply), laundry/dry cleaning, ATM and safe-deposit boxes. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and finish the day at the marina-side bar.

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property and a 24-hour business center. Nearly 3,498 sq ft of event space with a conference center and eight meeting rooms, plus meeting services and a 24-hour front desk for seamless corporate events.

BALEENkitchen serves Californian cuisine with garden views and alfresco dining right on the marina. Two bars and lounges offer cocktails and small bites; full breakfast is available daily (6:30–11:00 AM) for a fee, and limited room service is offered.
