The Belamar Hotel

Relax in the bright sea tones and charming courtyard of this 127-room Manhattan Beach hotel. Though it's over a mile from the beach—the hotel offers bike rentals—the Belamar is just around the corner from the Manhattan Village mall as well as the Point, the swanky new El Segundo shopping center, and an optimistic 10 minutes from LAX. Rooms come equipped with free Wi-Fi, and elsewhere on the property you'll find meeting spaces, a small skylit pool and the on-site Second Story Restaurant.
