A mile from Manhattan Beach and 10 minutes' drive from the airport, the 127-room Belamar is a bit off the beaten track on busy Sepulveda Blvd, so it’s often overlooked. Still, decent rates buy stylish rooms with sea-blue accents and aromatherapy bath products, plus easy access to a nature trail to the beach for jogging off your jet lag.
Big malls across the street offer easy access to shopping and dining.
