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 Hughes Corporate Heliport, Terminal 3, Church of Religious Science of Beverly Hills, Harvard Playground and Saint George's Episcopal Church.

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.
