As soon as you touch down at LAX, odds are that you’re already dreaming of a comfortable hotel room where you can stretch out, put your feet up and just relax. You could just check in to one of the crowded, overpriced hotels next to the airport, along with nearly every other business traveler and tourist arriving in the area. Or you could drive just a few minutes to a vibrant community that offers well-appointed hotels, top-rated restaurants and a laid-back vibe that can’t be beat — all just a few miles from Los Angeles’ major destinations. Break apart from the crowd and choose the city that you’ll never want to leave: El Segundo.

The moment you get out of the car in El Segundo, you’ll be struck by the peaceful surroundings — a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of LA. You’re just a few miles from the airport and only a few minutes from the Pacific Coast Highway, which is an easy route to anywhere in Southern California. With a range of new and renovated hotels along the PCH that offer comfortable, budget-friendly rooms, El Segundo is a great alternative to pricier destinations nearby. Local accommodations range from well-known names to local, family-owned establishments, but they all share one thing in common: a cozy, affordable place to call your SoCal home base.

When you choose to stay in El Segundo, you’ll also have the best of the SoCal region at your fingertips. You can make the easy drive into neighboring L.A. for business or sightseeing, then return to your adopted home of El Segundo for everything else. Looking for a friendly place to grab your morning coffee? Hoping to enjoy an award-winning dinner prepared especially for you by a top chef? Or maybe you just want to enjoy your off hours with some casual browsing at a trendy boutique. In El Segundo, all that and more is right outside your hotel.

El Segundo is one of the best-kept secrets in Southern California – one that won’t be a secret for much longer. Your corner of West Coast paradise is waiting for you, so book your El Segundo hotel today.
