I love this hotel and the property! The rooms are very reminiscent of the groovy days, but they are not outdated. The grounds are lovely. We felt catered to by every employee we met. The pool is good-sized and can accommodate a lot of guests. Adults only hot tub! They also have daily activities for kids, families, and adults. There is something for everyone. The restaurant is fabulous. The bar is awesome. The gift store is well stocked with many local goodies. It’s just an amazing place to either be in the middle of Hollywood or completely removed from it. We will return!

This place is incredible. It’s been on LA adventure list for awhile. I haven’t been because I was thinking “eh, it’s just old stuff”. I was wrong. There was so much thought out into the Villa and the gardens. Meticulous details. The architecture is beautiful, and so are the grounds. The collection is very expansive. I did the self-guided audio tour that also recorded with great care. The docents are very polite and very helpful. It’s free, but you need a reservation time. Parking is $20. I didn’t go to the cafe, but when I walked through I saw what appeared to be quality food options and ample serving sizes. I walked through about 80% of the exhibits which took a little over 2 hours. I’ll be going back in November. I’m very glad I went. Nice outing.

I have been a member of the Eastlake community for several years. I recently moved to Long Beach from San Diego and could not find a place where I belonged. I remembered that Eastlake had a church in Venice. I walked in and knew I was home. The people are warm and welcoming.
There’s always something going on at the church or in the community if you are hungry for a way to serve and give back.

Rooted in faith and the Bible, the messages are powerful and relevant to where we are today. The worship team gets us going and then Pastor Mark makes us laugh, cry, look up, and look deep to help us find ourselves and our path.

It’s a New Year. If you found yourself in need of something during the holidays and you can’t put your finger on it, maybe stop by and give us a visit. Maybe Venice Church can help you find what you need

It’s worth a visit! We take faith seriously, but we have a lot of fun doing it.
