We had our wedding at Big Door Studio and it was a great experience. The staff was supportive from planning through the end of the wedding. Never an any issues with getting wedding vendors access to tour the facility and they always responded quickly to questions. The facility is well maintained and looked beautiful on our wedding

What a great studio! Just shot a quick branded series and they were the best most accommodating location I've ever had the pleasure of hiring...ok well I was just a director so I don't actually know the details of the deal but their in house gear was great and their gear manager was incredibly helpful and on it. Cyc was clean and their facilities were pristine. My only qualm is I live in Los Feliz and they're all the way by Lax but for shoots with some of my clients down there this joint is perfect.

Light message...Congratulations!

See all

An incredible dining spot right near the pier, with truly stunning ocean views, especially at…read moresunset. The food was just as impressive as the setting. The fries are a must-try, perfectly crisp and flavorful. The ahi tuna salad was fresh and beautifully balanced, not overpowered by vinegar (as it usually happens) and the sea bass was cooked to perfection with lots of flavours. For dessert, the truffle hazelnut treat is an absolute standout, rich, indulgent, and reminiscent of a Ferrero Rocher. Parking in the area can be a bit challenging, with mostly metered spots nearby. There is some free street parking in the surrounding residential areas if you don't mind a short walk.

Stopped by for dinner and drinks with my hubby and a friend this place is definitely a vibe and…read moresuper close to the ocean. Best time to go is for happy hour before sunset. Our reservation wasn't until 8:30, so we hung out downstairs for about an hour first. Met a lot of people who were clearly locals and regulars, which always says a lot about a spot. Once we sat down for dinner, we ordered a few things. The bluefin tostadas are a must if you're into seafood. We also had the scallops delicious doesn't even do them justice, just wish there was more than one . My hubby ordered the lamb, which was probably our least favorite since it was a bit dry. The rigatoni though? Unbelievably good. Honestly, I'd come back and order the exact same items minus the lamb lol. Shoutout to Griffin for keeping us going all night . And the buttermilk bread? So good I almost cried. Parking is pretty easy, but definitely come early on a nice day. There are a couple of metered lots nearby with up to 5-hour parking. Fridays they've got a DJ after 9:30 PM... how swayyy See you next time!

So many occasions can be celebrated here as it's a rather large space for downtown Manhattan Beach,…read morein comparison to other venues available in the area. The sound system is great quality, and the clubhouse is modern and clean. Since the space can be decorated to your needs, this venue has flexible usage for any celebrations, birthdays, baby showers, receptions, fundraisers, photoshoots, team activities, etc. I've seen a Hammitt handbag sample sale here, and the South Bay Boardriders host their Pre-Catalina Race party too with a taco truck, movie screening, live band, and more. There's a kitchen in the back with food warmers as well, multiple bathrooms, and a very accommodating front entrance that opens up. The venue is a reasonable price, and fees support the woman's club (which has been integral to the South Bay since 1909), so they go back into the community. Highly recommend considering as a venue for your next big event in MB!

Very kind, patient ( I asked a lot of questions ), detailed & prompt. Gail was very helpful with our walkthrough of the center and checklist requirements. One thing to note is to be respectful of rules provided to maintain the space as well as the community, the beautiful center is in the middle of a residential area. So please be mindful of others and hold your guests accountable. Overall an incredible experience 10/10. I will definitely plan for other celebrations of life here.

This is my second stay this year at the Belamar Hotel this year. It's such a great location to the…read morebeaches, shopping and fabulous restaurants! This stay the hotel was decked out in holiday decorations that helped make my stay-cation like home! They have a welcoming front desk that had a lovely woman who greeted me for my stay. My room was on the second floor near Second Story the hotel's restaurant, which has great food by the way! Antonio my waiter today told me to be sure to come try breakfast tomorrow, that they've got a new delicious breakfast menu! Also, they have a full bar at the restaurant. I love that the hotel is a small boutique hotel that is a Hilton Tapestry property so you can use your Hilton Honors to book your reservation and earn HH points! The hotel conveniently located on PCH (Sepulveda) and Rosecrans which is just a quick 5 minute to the beach, great shopping and restaurants across the street at Manhattan Village and at The Point! There is a Top Golf just a few minutes away and LAX and 405 Freeway close! And you can even hop on a METRO bus just outside the hotel for a quick ride to Hermosa Beach or to Redondo Beach and Pier! The rooms are spacious. I prefer the garden view rooms and queen beds but this stay I had a residential side view and two beds. The room was quiet and very clean, and I love the crisp corners of the bedsheets tucked neatly. They have amazingly comfy beds and all of the team of employees were friendly (between the house keeping staff, front desk, Antonio at the restaurant and even Sergio (goodness I think that was his name) at the valet! I love when the hotel makes you feel at home and greet you each time you're coming or going. Definitely makes you feel special. Since it's December I didn't get to the pool this times but maybe next time! I'll be back for sure!

This place is awesome. We booked here last minute and so glad we did! The rooms are so spacious and…read morewell maintained. We had the cutest balcony which is amazing since we had our dog with us. The restaurant on site is great too, nice selection and has a happy hour and there is a nice walking trail close by as well. I would absolutely stay here again, everyone was so nice!!

I took baths and watched tv every night. The Tempurpedic cloud bed was insanely comfortable. Being pet- friendly was a wonderful surprise. I needed a place to stay while my house is under repair so needed to bring my cat. He is very clean, well behaved and we travel with disposable litter boxes and mats so when we leave, there was no trace of an animal. The tile flooring and carpet are also stain proof for easy clean up if necessary. I got a deal on a one the travel broker sites and believe it might have been such a good deal because I made reservations to check in middle of night but I don't know. Staff is lovely.

Reporting the damage turned into a long drawn-out ordeal which lasted over a month. After all that, the hotel denied any responsibility for what happened. It was extremely frustrating to deal with a business that dragged its feet and ultimately refused to own up to a problem that happened on their watch. I wouldn't recommend using their valet service, and management handled this situation very poorly. If I could give them zero stars, I would. I honestly expected a higher level of integrity from a MB establishment, especially when your entire business model is based on hospitality and customer service...
