Virgin rating

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. Chill out poolside, and take a refreshing dip. Or if pools aren't your thing, head to the marina for kayaking and paddle boarding, and if you head down to the beach, you can pick up a complimentary boogie board for some fun in the sea. After fun-filled days, your room will be a welcome retreat for some down time, complete with, of course, those unforgettable views.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Portofino in Redondo Beach and can't recommend it more. Unfortunately due to the fires, we had to evacuate our home and the hotel went above and beyond to make us (and all the guests) feel incredibly welcomed. Even without these circumstances, we would come back here in an instant. The room is spacious with comforters you want to stay in for days and lovely amenities in the room. The restaurant Baleen offers wonderful food options across the street (shoutout to Heidi there for her recommendations). Thank you to Mac in the valet group and Shawntee at the front desk for making our stay so easy. This is a must stay hotel when you are in the area. Read less

My fiancé and I evacuated from the LA fires and this hotel, Gregory specifically, was truly the sunshine of our entire week. Gregory was friendly, beyond helpful, empathetic and just the best energy to be around. We will be coming back in no time 🫶🏼

Had to evacuate due to the LA fires late at night and was scrambling to find a place to stay. The hotel staff were incredibly kind and accommodating and helped find me a room last minute. As soon as I arrived and heard sea lions barking nearby, I immediately felt at ease after a stressful night. The room was clean and cozy with a lovely patio overlooking the marina. And the beds were insanely comfortable (fully credit them with the good nights sleep I got despite everything going on). When I left my room in the morning, I was greeted by an unmatched view of the pacific ocean through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the charming lobby lounge. I could have stood there ogling at the waves all day. And there was a very generous coffee spread they specially arranged as so many guests had also evacuated. While my stay was brief, I was absolutely blown away by the level of service, kindness and compassion every staff member I encountered provided, and I can't wait to return for a proper staycation and explore the rest of their enticing amenities and activities.

The hotel staff quickly were able to arrange rooms for us and were so comforting and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable and had a beautiful view of the marina. Waking up there was like being in a different world from the previous day. The GM was so gracious and left coffee for everyone as most guests had fled the wildfires. I will definitely be back under better circumstances. Read less

My husband and I needed a one night getaway after the holidays, because we were all about family and needed 24 hours to relax as a couple. This hotel, 45 minutes away, was just what we needed. I got a great deal for an ocean front room- and it was beautiful. The seals swam by, we saw many boats and kayaks and even a rowing team. We went down to the lobby for a drink. The lobby was really comfortable with nice chairs and elegant chandeliers, and warm nautical decor. The staff was friendly and helpful to get us the wristbands to get our wine and beer. Then we just sat and relaxed and looked out the window to the relaxing view of the water. At sunset, we watched from our room as we got ready for dinner. We walked to the Redondo pier- 5 minutes- and found a Mexican restaurant on the water and had drinks and chips and guac. Then we walked back to the hotel to their restaurant where they had live music and we had a nice dinner in a very warm inviting decor with a fireplace, and again, views of the water. Our room at night was very comfortable and quiet. In the morning, we “rented” the e-bikes at the activity center on hotel grounds and rode on the Strand. The hotel allows us 2 hours free so that was great too. Checkout was easy. All was good and the 24 hours was a perfect getaway. Love the nautical old world romantic feel of the Portofino Hotel. Next time, I may even bring our dog! Read less
