The hotel

Ever dreamed of living by the ocean? The Portofino will be sure to give you a taste of coastal living, and you'll be stunned by the incredible views on the daily. Eat with views over the marina, and spend your evenings sat around the fire pit, cocktail in hand. Speaking of drinks, you can enjoy the freedom of Portofino Pours in the Living Room, where you can self-service yourself a selection of beers, wine and house-made cocktails! When you're not chilling out poolside you can head to the marina for kayaking and paddle boarding. And if you are heading out, you might as well make use of the complimentary beach cruisers to get there! After fun-filled days, your room will be a welcome retreat for some down time, complete with, of course, those unforgettable views.

The property is obviously recently renovated and super cute. The staff was so friendly and helpful, even for a big obnoxious group like hours. Samantha gave great local recommendations and was fun to meet!

I stayed at The Portofino for one night. It was an easy 30 min Uber ride from LAX. I was very thankful that I was allowed to check in 2h early. The hotel complex has old charm. My room was cozy and the king bed very comfortable but the room didn't really get warm despite the HVAC unit running (stayed there in January). The HVAC system was very noisy. The room had very little space to leave your things. Hardly any in the bathroom. I loved the fact that there were water refill stations around the hotel. My room was on the ground floor. I heard the elevator and the upstairs guests throughout the night. There was also soft music audible all night. Not sure where it came from. Sounded like elevator music on the property. Rather strange. Staff at the restaurant/ bar was very kind. $38 resort fee per night. The Redondo Beach boardwalk, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Cheesecake Factory and other restaurants are all in walking distance. The area has a great bike path. Read less

I had a best birthday at The Portofina Hotel today. Best of the best is Ms. Samantha B who made my day to totally another level. She is an angel, help me arranged a wine in my room and we had so much fun taking photos together. She is my sister now, a loving heart and a must meet at the Portofina. Thanks Samantha!
