The Westin Long Beach

Midway between Los Angeles and Orange County, in Long Beach, California, The Westin Long Beach provides a logistical dream of a location. But airport proximity accounts for only part of the hotel’s appeal for groups. The hotel also features the city’s largest ballroom, able to hold up to 1,540 guests. The more than 51,000 square feet of total indoor space also includes 23 additional multifunction rooms, all with high-speed Internet access, videoconferencing capabilities, satellite and T-1 lines, and an on-site audiovisual staff. Heavenly Beds and amenities like Starbucks coffee in the 469 view-filled rooms ensure the comforts of home.

Between sessions, groups can take advantage of the signature gym, swim in the seasonally heated outdoor pool, steep in the Jacuzzi, jog or walk area trails, people watch on Malibu Beach, or visit two of Long Beach’s best-loved attractions: Queen Mary and the new Aquarium of the Pacific.
