2 Best Hotels in El Segundo, Los Angeles

If you need a springboard for an LAX trip (with included transportation) or a game at SoFi Stadium, consider the Cambria for a low-key, casual getaway. Rooms are pleasantly soothing, with cool tones, comfy beds, and furnishings that give a mid-century wink. This pet-friendly hotel (with Fido's own amenity kit) offers modern touches like lighted mirrors with Bluetooth connectivity that play music from your device. Spend time lounging at the firepit or in a poolside cabana, or enjoy craft beer and cocktails at the Scandi-style Hanger bar and restaurant; the daily happy hour delights, though the restaurant only serves breakfast and dinner.

LAX's swankier hotel had some serious work done to its already sleek look, yet the appeal is in more than just the style; in-transit visitors love the 24-hour room service, pool (with private cabana rentals) and hot tub, fitness center, and airport shuttle, making this the perfect option for an early-morning flight. (That's provided you don't use a car; while room rates are reasonable, parking is $75.) The soundproofed rooms are compact, with slightly softer aesthetics than the refreshed lobby, and have helpful details such as coffee makers, hooks for hanging garment bags, and oversize work desks, which act in tandem to make the guest rooms feel more sophisticated than corporate. An on-site brasserie, California bistro, indoor-outdoor bar and Starbucks offer culinary variety. Pets are welcome.
