Downtime in the Beach Cities/LAX Region

Attendees can explore endless possibilities in the Beach Cities/LAX region before, during and after meetings. Outside of Downtown, most of LA’s hotel rooms are located near the airport, so it's easy to hotel-hop to taste the food, catch the rooftop views and enjoy the hospitality.

Morning

 

An LA Start to the Day

Flying in early before the meeting or event? Morning fly-ins can shop at Tom Bradley International Terminal, which was inspired by the shops of Rodeo Drive & Melrose Ave. All this early exploration can definitely work up an appetite, so head to the newly renovated Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX or Los Angeles Airport Marriott for a breakfast that hits the spot. Or, if you prefer to dine with waterfront views, treat yourself to a meal at Cast & Plow in The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey. Then, get in a museum tour at Zimmerman Automobile Driving Museum, or take in the sun and stroll the Manhattan Beach Pier to get a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean.

Mid-Day

 

Mid-Day Escapes

Recharge before afternoon sessions begin with lunch on the Beach Patio of Jamaica Bay Inn. Once you’ve refueled, take a walk out on Mother’s Beach, where paddleboard rentals are also available for on-the-water fun. Prefer to dine al fresco on the golf course? Head over to westdrift Manhattan Beach for lunch on their nine-hole fairway, which is open to the public. Or, enjoy a VIP tour of SoFi Stadium — home of the Rams and Chargers. End the afternoon by grabbing a resort pass for Caravan Swim Club at Hotel June or taking a reverent stroll around The Korean Bell of Friendship.
