Although they may not have the glitz and glamour of five-star Beverly Hills establishments or the chic aesthetic of Downtown Los Angeles boutique hotels, these venues close to LAX offer all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. And the best part? You won’t have to jostle with the notoriously bad traffic along the sprawling freeways to catch your flight. Here are a few of the best hotels in Hawthorne – bookable on Culture Trip – to experience on your next visit to the City of Angels.

1. Ayres Hotel Manhattan Beach Hawthorne, for an old-world aesthetic
