4- and 5-star hotels in Long Beach
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Long Beach, from large waterfront properties with pools and fitness centres to apartment-style stays near the beach. It is for travellers choosing between a downtown base close to the Convention Center and quieter residential addresses.
Staying in Long Beach
Long Beach pairs a working downtown and convention district with a waterfront of shops, restaurants and harbour views. The Aquarium of the Pacific, the Convention Center and Shoreline Village sit close together, and the downtown and waterfront areas are walkable, with many attractions close together. The hotels on this list cluster tightly: most addresses lie along or just off Ocean Boulevard and Broadway, between 0.4 and 2.4 km from the centre, while a few sit further out toward the beach and the city's eastern edges.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors gravitate to the ocean-facing addresses, where pools, bars and restaurants keep evenings easy. Families get family rooms at several properties and apartment-style kitchens and laundry in the outlying houses. Business travellers are served by business centres, express check-in and the downtown locations nearest the Convention Center. Guests wanting space and self-catering will find the duplex and retreat properties a different proposition from the full-service hotels.
