One of only two hotels in Los Angeles that has the distinction of being on the beach itself, the Hotel Casa Del Mar is a beautiful building that holds an equally classy and luxurious interior. Everything one could desire in a romantic LA experience is available, whether it be in the hotel or in the neighborhood. A few of the hotel amenities include a rooftop pool and Jacuzzi, in-suite Jacuzzis, an in-room or poolside massage service and live jazz every night in the lobby. The hotel even provides surfing lessons if that’s your thing. Beyond the hotel, one can explore the nearby VeniceBeach or go further inland and check out Hollywood or inner LA. Or just stick to the local flavor of Santa Monica with its many restaurants, cafes, shopping spots and night clubs. Has anyone been down to VeniceBeach lately? Is it still as fun as it used to be?
