About

The Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey

The Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey sits on Admiralty Way, a five-minute walk from the waterfront, shops and restaurants. It’s a 10-minute drive from LAX, making it an easy base for a late arrival or early departure without staying at the airport itself.

The hotel pairs five-star polish with a relaxed marina setting. Rooms are solidly built and quiet, many with balconies and views over the harbour. On-site, you’ll find a heated saltwater pool, a spa, a fitness centre and a restaurant that guests repeatedly praise.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Marina and water views — Many rooms and suites come with balconies overlooking the harbour or partial marina views, and guests regularly single out the scenery.
  • Heated saltwater pool and spa — The pool gets particular appreciation – one guest called it more refreshing than a dip in the ocean – and there’s a full spa with massages, a Jacuzzi and a fitness centre.
  • Consistently praised dining — The on-site restaurant, Cast and Plow, earns repeated compliments for both food and service, along with the bar and lounge.
  • Quiet, well-appointed rooms — Guests note the solid construction keeps rooms quiet, with spacious layouts, good bedding and comfortable beds.
  • Close to LAX and the coast — About a 10-minute drive from the airport and a short walk to the waterfront, shops and restaurants, with easy access to the bike trail toward Santa Monica pier.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower than other categories — The hotel’s score for rooms and cleanliness is 6 out of 10, below its location (8) and dining (7) ratings – worth considering if immaculate rooms are your priority.
  • Price-to-service value is a common weak point — With a price from £451 per night, the value-for-service score sits at 6, suggesting some guests feel the experience doesn’t fully match the premium rate.
  • Wi-Fi is not included — Internet access in rooms is paid, which can add to the cost of a stay at this level.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient if you arrive earlier in the day.

The Marina: The hotel sits on Admiralty Way, just a few minutes' walk from the waterfront, shops and restaurants. It’s a pleasant area for a stroll along the harbour.
