Great Family Staycation
Pros:

We had an amazing time staying at the Portofino. It was a great location with gorgeous views of the harbor and ocean. We loved the Baleen restaurant for dinner and breakfast. One note, if you stay on the ocean side, be prepared to listen to the barking seals throughout your stay.

Beautiful Marina Views & Amazing Sunsets
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at the Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach! From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and welcomed.

One of our favorite parts of the stay was the complimentary breakfast for two every morning at Baleen Restaurant. The food was delicious, and enjoying breakfast by the marina was such a wonderful way to start each day.

Our room had a balcony with an incredible view of the ocean and watching the beautiful sunset from there each evening was unforgettable. It was peaceful, relaxing, and one of the highlights of our trip.

The hotel’s location is perfect. The boardwalk is just a short walk away, and there’s a fun family-friendly water park nearby. We also enjoyed exploring the marina and trying several of the fresh seafood restaurants within walking distance.

The only downside was that the hotel only has one elevator, and it takes forever to open, which could be a little frustrating at times.

If you’re looking for a relaxing waterfront getaway with beautiful views, great dining, and plenty to do nearby, we highly recommend the Portofino Hotel & Marina. We can’t wait to come back!

Super Urlaub in Los Angeles.
Pros:

Sehr schönes ruhiges Hotel am Meer. Das Früstück konnte im Restaurant nebenan eingenommen werden, was uns sehr gut gefallen hat.

Cons:

Vielleicht könnten die Gardinen einmal gewechselt werden. Waren nicht mehr so gut im Schuss.

Wedding night stay
Pros:

Came here the night of our wedding. We were told on the phone there would be something special for us in the room, but there wasn’t when we got here. However, we mentioned it to the front desk and they put together a nice complimentary arrangement that made up for everything. The room was gorgeous and we loved the ocean view. Room service was some of the best food we’ve had! And the staff was so kind. Gregory in particular made us feel very celebrated. We will be back!

Great property, right on the water. Can't beat this one!
Pros:

Amazing property! Loved the Baleen Kitchen restaurant but what really sets this place apart, amazingly, is the valet staff. Shaw and Tony were just terrific and helped us above and beyond the call of duty.

Anniversary Getaway
Pros:

My wife and I recently spent a weekend at the Portofino for our 13th wedding anniversary, and it was the perfect romantic staycation. From the moment we arrived, the front desk team was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail.
When we entered our room, we were pleasantly surprised to find a complimentary bottle of wine and champagne waiting for us, a thoughtful touch that made the celebration feel even more special and got my wife in the right mood. The room itself appeared recently updated, with a clean, modern feel and a stunning ocean view. Watching the sunset from the balcony was a highlight of our stay.

We also enjoyed brunch at Baleen, where the food was outstanding and the setting made the experience even better.

Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. It is hard to imagine a better way to celebrate our anniversary, and we are already looking forward to coming back.

Awesome staff!
Pros:

We had an awesome stay at the Portofino! The staff was amazing especially at the front desk! My son thoroughly enjoyed talking to each and every one! He especially remembers Anna (Orosco)! Every time we went to the lobby he was looking for her specifically! She was awesome! He still talks about his stay and about Anna! Gregory and Alysse (spelling?) was also great! The little coffee shop inside was great too! They made my caramel latte taste great! The only thing I would say is the rooms are a little out of date and need a little more cleaning, but I wasn’t that worried about it! It was a great location too and a great view! Was able to walk to a lot of places and had fun at the little seaside lagoon close by. No complaints at all! I definitely think the staff made the experience amazing! Thank you for the awesome experience! Can’t wait to come back again!

Würde ich nicht wieder buchen viel viel zu teuer
Pros:

Das Meer war gleich da und der Hafen

Cons:

Es war überhaupt kein 4 Sterne Hotel und total einfach eingerichtet und jeden morgen hört man die Laute Musik vom Restaurant gegenüber und das Stört total. Der Gast möchte sich erholen und das Meeresrauschen genießen und ständig diese ungewollte Musik. Hatte mich schon so sehr auf diese Hotel gefreut aber wurde Mega enttäuscht
