The other 44 are not ranked yet: our profile of each is not yet a Detailed or Full profile (a Journeyed Score of 65 or more) and no recognized award is on record for it. That describes how much we have verified so far, never the hotel itself. Every hotel in range is on the page for Venice Beach: https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/anchors/venice-beach/ ## What "best" means here Formula best-1.1. "Best" on this page means first by one published formula, not by anyone's opinion: recognized awards count 30 points, hotel class 30, verified facts (parking, parking fee, pool and more) 15, reader votes 10 and distance to Venice Beach 15, out of 100. Only hotels with a Detailed or Full profile (a Journeyed Score of 65 or more) or a recognized award can be ranked, and no hotel can pay for a place on this list. - Recognized awards, 30 points: the highest level a hotel holds on the awarding body's own current list. MICHELIN Guide: Three MICHELIN Keys 100%, Two MICHELIN Keys 90%, One MICHELIN Key 80%. Forbes Travel Guide: Five-Star 100%, Four-Star 85%, Recommended 70%. AAA: Five Diamond 100%, Four Diamond 75%. - Hotel class, 30 points: luxury 100%, upper upscale 80%, upscale 60%, upper midscale 40%, midscale 20%, economy 0%, from the published chain scale of the hotel's brand, or from the awarding body's own definition of a level the hotel holds. A hotel with no class on record gets 0 here. - Verified facts, 15 points: the share of these facts on record with a source: parking, parking fee, pool, pet policy and check-in time. - Reader votes, 10 points: the share of reader Yes or No votes that confirm what the hotel states about its details, starting from a neutral 5 votes at 50%. A hotel with no votes yet gets half. - Distance, 15 points: full points at 0 miles and none at 2 miles from Venice Beach, in a straight line. - Ties go to the higher Journeyed Score, then the shorter distance. This list uses no guest reviews and no review-site ratings. Reader opinion enters only as Yes or No votes on specific details of a hotel, cast on its page. No votes have been counted for the hotels considered here yet, so every hotel carries the same neutral value for that part of the formula. Read the full method: https://journeyed.org/methodology/#best-of ## Why trust this ranking - No reviews, by design. This ranking is built only from things you can check: facts each hotel states on its own website (each linked and dated), recognized awards read from the awarding body's own list, the hotel class of its brand, distances computed from open map data, and reader Yes or No votes on specific details once enough people have voted. - On record for Los Angeles: 14,760 sourced facts on 2,608 hotels, 567 hotel websites read and 84 recognized awards on 60 hotels from Forbes Travel Guide and AAA. Reader voting is open on every hotel page. - One published formula for every hotel. No hotel can pay to change a score or a rank, and a fact loses credit when it is not re-checked within 180 days. How every score and rank is computed: https://journeyed.org/methodology/ ## Questions about this list ### What is the best hotel near Venice Beach?

Best here means first by our published formula of recognized awards, hotel class, verified facts, reader votes and distance. ### What is the closest hotel to Venice Beach? Venice on the Beach Hotel is the closest, 0.1 miles from Venice Beach in a straight line. It is ranked 7 on this list. ### How are the hotels on this list ranked? "Best" on this page means first by one published formula, not by anyone's opinion: recognized awards count 30 points, hotel class 30, verified facts (parking, parking fee, pool and more) 15, reader votes 10 and distance to Venice Beach 15, out of 100. Only hotels with a Detailed or Full profile (a Journeyed Score of 65 or more) or a recognized award can be ranked, and no hotel can pay for a place on this list. ### Is this list based on guest reviews? No. This list uses no guest reviews and no review-site ratings. Reader opinion enters only as Yes or No votes on specific details of a hotel, cast on its page. No votes have been counted for the hotels considered here yet, so every hotel carries the same neutral value for that part of the formula. ## Related - [Hotels near Venice Beach](https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/anchors/venice-beach/) - [What are the check-in and checkout times at hotels near Venice Beach?](https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/what-are-the-check-in-and-checkout-times-at-hotels-near-venice-beach/) - [What hotels are close to Venice Beach?](https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/what-hotels-are-close-to-venice-beach/) - [What hotels are within walking distance of Venice Beach?](https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/what-hotels-are-within-walking-distance-of-venice-beach/) - [What hotels near Venice Beach are good for families?](https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/what-hotels-near-venice-beach-are-good-for-families/) - [What hotels near Venice Beach have parking, and what does it cost?](https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/what-hotels-near-venice-beach-have-parking-and-what-does-it-cost/) - [What hotels within 12 miles of Venice Beach have free breakfast?](https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/what-hotels-within-12-miles-of-venice-beach-have-free-breakfast/) ## Also asked as - Best hotel near Venice Beach - Where to stay near Venice Beach - Best places to stay near Venice Beach - Top hotels near Venice Beach - Best hotels near Venice Beach Boardwalk - Best hotels near Venice Boardwalk ## Sources - Overture Maps Places (https://docs.overturemaps.org/guides/places/) · cdla-permissive-2.0 · checked 2026-09-23 - AAA (1) · official-listing · checked 2026-10-03 - Forbes Travel Guide (1) · official-listing · checked 2026-10-03 - STR chain scales (3) · official-listing · checked 2026-10-03 - Hotel websites read by a person (2) · official-page-read-by-person · checked 2026-10-06 - Hotel websites (4) · robots-permitted-page · checked 2026-10-03 - OpenStreetMap contributors, routed with GraphHopper (https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright) · odbl-1.0 · checked 2026-10-03 --- Last checked: 2026-10-06 Canonical: https://journeyed.org/hotels/los-angeles/best-hotels-near-venice-beach/
