Hotel Close to LAX with Nice Pool

Need a hotel for one night post cruise and will not have a vehicle.

Planning to spend the day by the pool but would also like a walkable distance to restaurants.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

For a one-night stay near LAX without a vehicle, your priorities—pool access and walkable dining—are best met by hotels within a short walking distance of restaurants in the LAX area, particularly in neighborhoods like El Segundo, Playa del Rey, and the airport-adjacent hotel strip.

Tips for Choosing

  • Check if the hotel pool is seasonal or requires advance booking for day use.

  • Confirm shuttle availability if you decide to explore further restaurants or take a short ride to nearby neighborhoods.
