Los Angeles Airport Marriott

With an impressive inventory of 1,004 guest rooms and suites, the Los Angeles Airport Marriott stands as one of the most significant large-scale hotels in the LAX area. Following a comprehensive $50 million transformation, the property has been reimagined to offer a resort-style experience that goes far beyond the standard airport hotel utility. Its location is a primary logistical asset for large groups, offering a complimentary shuttle that runs continuously to the nearby terminals. Additionally, the hotel places attendees within easy reach of major entertainment venues such as SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum, making it a strategic choice for corporate events that include off-site entertainment components.

The hotel is specifically engineered to host high-volume gatherings, featuring over 55,000 square feet of total event space. This extensive footprint is anchored by the 12,320-square-foot Marquis Ballroom, which serves as the property’s main venue for general sessions and large galas. This column-free space can accommodate up to 1,700 guests for a standing reception, 1,200 in a theater-style arrangement, or 900 for a formal banquet. For events requiring a second major venue, the Imperial Ballroom offers 10,560 square feet of space and can host up to 1,450 people for a reception or 1,000 in a theater setup.

Beyond the two primary ballrooms, the facility provides exceptional flexibility with approximately 29 to 39 distinct meeting rooms, depending on the configuration. This includes versatile breakout spaces like the 3,458-square-foot Meridian room and smaller suites for intimate board meetings or workshops. The property also features 6,500 square feet of outdoor event space, allowing planners to utilize the California weather for networking receptions.

The attendee experience at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott is supported by top-tier amenities that encourage relaxation and networking. The centerpiece of the property is the resort-style outdoor pool, which features a spacious deck lined with palm trees and private cabanas. For dining, guests have multiple on-site options, including JW’s Steakhouse for locally sourced sustainable seafood and steaks, and Hangar 18 Bar + Kitchen, a vibrant sports bar with over 40 TVs. The hotel also features the M Club Lounge on the 18th floor, one of the largest in the Marriott portfolio, offering panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills and downtown Los Angeles for eligible guests.
