[+] one of the world-famous beaches less than five miles from the hotel. Trafas Photography Airport hotels are primarily seen as business destinations. Travelers fly in from around the country or across the ocean, freshen up, and get a good night’s sleep before their business meetings.
Or the hotel itself might itself be the business destination. The Westin Los Angeles Airport (Westin LAX) has 56,000 square feet of meeting space and is often used for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) and other events. But the Westin (a Marriott Bonvoy property) is also convenient to the Los Angeles beach scene and entertainment venues like SoFi Stadium.
So the hotel also gets significant numbers of social events and individual leisure travelers. The hotel recently completed a $45 million renovation which includes a facelift for public spaces including lobby, check-in and bar. The Westin Club is also new, and serves complimentary breakfast, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks for Club Level members.
The renovation also updated 56,000 square feet of flexible meeting spaces, as well as the 750 guest rooms. The update has a “green” theme, referencing the El Segundo blue butterfly native to coastal Los Angeles County in the carpeting and with a picture in every guestroom.

Many travelers make an effort to lower their carbon footprint by renting an E-vehicle or trying out an EV before buying one.
While the hotel is adjacent to the airport, with a complimentary airport shuttle every 15 minutes or so, it is also within a 15-minute shuttle ride to the famed beaches of Los Angeles beach bike path with easy bike or skate rental and beaches like Dockweiler, Playa Del Rey and El Segundo are all nearby. In fact, the Westin LAX now offers a dedicated surf concierge to take guests out on a guided experience, navigating the best beaches, tide patterns and breaks near the hotel. With a gym, a pool, bar and restaurant, the Westin also accommodates leisure travelers and social events.
“Our $45 million renovation has transformed us into more than an airport hotel,” says Melanie Stroh, Director of Sales and Marketing at the Westin LAX. “We’re now a destination that caters to diverse crowds, whether you’re attending an event at SoFi or the Intuit Dome, planning a beach getaway, or organizing a meeting or group gathering.” The hotel recently added a Topgolf Swing Suite , with 1850 square feet of venue space.
Groups can chat, eat and drink while they assess their swings, hit a home run, kick a soccer ball, play Zombie Dodgeball, or put the hockey sticks in the suite to good use. Individuals recovering from a long plane ride can also try it for $75 an hour.

Westin Hotels The location makes it a central meeting point for social groups; the Westin was hosting a group of 700 Masons when I visited. The hotel also has indoor and outdoor space for social events like weddings as well as meetings. One space can hold up to 1500 guests.
The hotel also has a state-of-the-art Theater Room with screen that can hold 200 guests in classic ‘movie theater’ seating. The Westin LAX is also less than four miles from the burgeoning sports and entertainment complex in nearby Inglewood, CA. That includes the 65,000 seat SoFi stadium, (home of NFL Rams and Chargers) the Kia Forum,(17,505 seats; primarily a concert venue) and the new 18,000 seat Intuit Dome (home of the NBA Clippers.
) While the “people mover” that will move passengers around LAX has been delayed yet again, to December 8, 2025, airport hotels like the Westin and their shuttles also help passengers get to and from LAX, one of the busiest airports in the country. Hotels like the Westin and their transportation partners like LA VIP Tours (motto: “No guest left behind”) also make getting to SoFi Stadium much easier. SoFi, with an estimated 10,000 parking spaces for 65,000 people, has been a notorious challenge for parking or rideshare access.
The LA Chargers, Rams and Clippers draw both local fans and fans of the opposing teams, who often come from great distances and need a near-by place to stay like the Westin. Taylor Swift did eight sold-out shows at SoFi last year, for more than 450,000 ticket holders. Not coincidentally, those shows packed the Westin as well.
SoFi and the Intuit Dome will also play a prominent role in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The Westin Club Lounge at the newly renovated Westin LAX hotel in Los Angeles, CA. Westin Hotels “With SoFi Stadium, along with the soon-to-open Intuit Dome hosting headliners like Taylor Swift, the Rolling Stones, and Usher, we’re witnessing a trend where travelers prefer to stay in the LAX corridor,” says Mark Goldrup, General Manager of the Westin LAX .
“Our hotel, being the closest full-service option to this vibrant entertainment district, becomes quite busy during event nights.” The comfortable rooms, easy road and airport access, and on-site dining at the make the Westin a good choice for concert goers. Just as important is that the Westin has helped guests navigate potential “last mile” transportation nightmares.
For the Rolling Stones show, a VIP Bus full of rowdy fans dropped us within a quarter mile of the stadium and picked us up at a designated spot after the show ended. No fuss, no muss. The day we stayed, hotel employees did a smooth job of managing almost one-hundred-percent occupancy.
The hotel lobby looked like a “little United Nations” with guests from all over the world. The Westin staff supported 700 Masons at their convention, while helping hotel guests check in and simultaneously dispatching Stones fans off to the show. The mix was quite genial, as well-dressed Masons and T-shirt clad Stones fans mingled in the elevators and the public spaces.
It was a last-minute decision for us to see the Rolling Stones and their energetic 80-year-old front men Mick Jagger and Keith Richard. It was, after all, our eight Stone show. But staying at the Westin helped it happen for us.
