Looking for a great staycation hotel that is in Los Angeles but gives a nice beach town feel? Look no further than Redondo Beach!
The Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina Hotel is located right across the street from the ocean needs to be added to your bucket list. There are so many fun activities like biking to paddleboarding that you can do in the area, and the views from the rooms boast the most gorgeous sunset view each night. Not to mention, the food is incredible at the hotel and I couldn’t recommend this more for a staycation!
LOCATION: 10/10
The Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina has a prime location, providing guests with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the iconic Redondo Beach Marina. Whether you're a beach lover, a water sports enthusiast, or simply seeking a serene coastal getaway, the hotel's location ensures you're immersed in the beauty of Redondo Beach.
This property is located steps away from the beach and it was so nice to just cross the street and be by the ocean! There are also a lot of great restaurants and places to walk around in the area near the hotel.
Here are the top 5 things to do the Redondo Beach area near the hotel:
Redondo Beach Pier: Take a stroll along the historic Redondo Beach Pier, where you'll find shops, restaurants, and stunning views of the coastline.
Whale Watching: Depending on the season, doing a whale-watching excursion from Redondo Beach is a great thing to do in the area. When we went, we didn’t do this activity but I’ve heard great things about Redondo Beach Whale Watch for boat tours.
Water Sports: Rent a paddleboard or kayak in the harbor, or try surfing at one of the nearby beaches.
Biking: Rent a bike and ride it along "The Strand." This path stretches for miles along the coastline, offering stunning ocean views.
DINING: 10/10
One of the standout features of the Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina is its exceptional dining options. There are two restaurants on the property: SOL Restaurant and Harbor Bar & Bistro.
We had some amazing food at the Harbor Bar & Bistro including delicious carne asada fries. The winner of the show though was the smores kit we got to do by the fire pit. The smores were delicious and it was such a fun way to end our night. HIghly recommend doing this if you stay at the Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina.
