Places to stay in Venice, California

Venice is a district on the Westside of Los Angeles, California. It is known for its canals, beaches and circus-like Ocean Front Walk, a two-and-a-half mile pedestrian-only promenade that features performers, fortune-tellers, artists, and vendors. Throughout the summer months, the boardwalk is actively entertaining, and this tradition continues on weekends in the winter. It is an important tourist attraction in Southern California, and has retained its popularity in part because it is an attractive location for walking and bicycling. It was home to some of Los Angeles' early beat poets and artists and has served as important cultural center of the city. Local restaurants include Gran Blanco, Eggslut, Cafe Collage, and Great White.

If you are travelling in the area, Venice is located close to Widney Alumni Hall, Chapel of the Pines, Exit 48, MacGowan Hall and Corvallis High School.

The center of Venice ( which is at is longitude -118°28'19.524 and latitude 33°59'15.288 ) is located 2 miles away from Marina Del Rey, 3 miles away from Santa Monica, 5 miles away from Culver City and 6 miles away from El Segundo.

Things to see and do, places to eat in Venice

Fig Tree Cafe ( Dining / Other ). Located at 429 Ocean Front Walk. Fig Tree has always been a neighborhood classic, family-owned and serving our community since 1978. Today, we have reimagined it with a feel and flavor driven by our Latin roots and our love for the Pacific coastline. Inspired by our lives in South America, where the farms often nuzzle up against the sea, and by our home, Venice, we’ve peeled back the rind and recreated Fig Tree. For good food, good drink, and good company, we invite you to sit on our patio and feel the ocean breeze. figtreevenice.com

The Albright ( Dining / Other ). Located at 258 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, 3 miles from the center of Venice. The Albright is a nautical knot that ties together generations of a local family business. SM Pier Seafood first opened in 1977, today husband and wife duo - Yunnie & Greg Morena are at the helm of the Pier mainstay. Preserving the original character, they modernized the vibe providing a relaxed seaside setting and unique compliment to the iconic Pier. The delicious menu reflects their commitment to sustainable seafood, locally sourced ingredients and extensive craft beer and California wine program. thealbright.com

I. Cugini ( Dining / Italian ). Located at 1501 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, 3 miles from the center of Venice. Almost half of our restaurant consists of a space designed to resemble a seaside patio like one might find on the Amalfi coast of Italy. The interior features vaulted ceilings, parquet wood floors, terrazzo marble countertops and a huge mural depicting an old trattoria in Italy from the 1920's. Columns are used instead of walls to separate the different rooms: a bar area, center dining room and back dining room. The focal point of the center dining room is a central fish boning station. Also worth noting is a gorgeous bar that showcases our extensive wine and grappa selection. Monday - Thursday from 11:30 am to 10:00 pm Friday - Saturday from 11:30 am to 11:00 pm Sunday Brunch Served from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, Dinner Served 4:30 pm to 10:00 pm All major credit cards are accepted.
