I stayed at the Gjelina hotel over a weekend to get some intense work done away from the distractions of home. The staff were incredibly helpful, shoutout to Elliot especially. Lots of places to sit and hang out (or work) like the rooftop terrace, the courtyard, and even the lobby. Great to have Ocean Front Walk right there for high energy breaks and walks. The room was surprisingly quiet for one block from the beach.

Fabulous . Perfect location . Gorgeous room. Just the right amount of amenities . Thoughtful touches
Cutest little spot. It’s like a hallway with rooms on both sides. The room we had is small but perfect for a short trip. It had everything we needed.
The location was perfect. Right in front of the parking lot for the beach. So moving the car was easy. It is a good location for restaurants. We walked to breakfast and dinner. Two girls felt safe enough to walk back at night.
They gave us all the tips for parking. The guy at check in came out to our car and brought all our bags in for us. 👏 It was amazing.
The common area is perfect for games, the bigger sink is perfect for refilling bottles and the cute breakfast they serve. Mostly croissants and muffins. We didn’t partake but it looked gourmet.
Upon check out it was easy and everyone was so kind.
Beautiful hotel with rustic motif. Immediate parking is convenient , not related to the facility , but $60 for overnight- It’s a bargain for LA. The room was clean and beautiful. The hotel was located within walking distance to the beach and the many shops along the strip. Great overall experience.
The concierge was incredibly attentive and friendly. The room was well thought out, stylish, clean and comfy. The common area is a great added bonus with a view of the ocean.
A spontaneous pick which thoroughly surprised and delighted! Highly recommend picking a suite over the single rooms if you are here on a holiday. You won't regret it! Lovely touches to make one feel right at home, super cozy and luxurious.
