Getting from these hotels to the LA Marathon finish in Century City
Your hotel is close to the start, so you'll need a plan for the finish. Century City is on the west side of Los Angeles, about 10 miles from Dodger Stadium in a straight line. The Metro B Line does not reach Century City directly.
After the finish line, book a rideshare pickup ahead of time or have a friend or family member meet you near the finish at Santa Monica Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars.
If you are staying an extra night, hotels in the Westwood or Beverly Hills area put you closer to the finish, which your legs will appreciate.

Frequently asked questions
How far is it to walk from these hotels to the Dodger Stadium start line?＋
The shortest walk on this list is from Super 8 by Wyndham on W Sunset Blvd, 0.87 miles to the stadium, about 17 minutes. The longest is from Knights Inn on W Temple Street, 1.49 miles, about 30 minutes. We measured along mapped streets and paths. The organizer publishes no walking route, and the stadium is up a hill with few ways in, so allow extra time on race morning.
Is there Metro access from these hotels to Dodger Stadium?＋
Not directly. Dodger Stadium has no Metro station of its own. The closest Metro stop is Chinatown on the A Line, which is within walking distance of the Chinatown hotels on this list. From Chinatown station, the stadium is still about a 27-minute walk uphill, so most runners staying nearby choose to walk directly from their hotel rather than take the train.
How do I get from the Dodger Stadium start to the Century City finish?＋
You run there. To get back afterward, the Metro B Line doesn't reach Century City directly, so arrange a rideshare pickup in advance or have someone meet you near the finish at Santa Monica Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars. The closest open rail station is Westwood/Rancho Park on the E Line, about 1.7 miles south of the finish, and that line runs back to Downtown.
What is the weather like at the Dodger Stadium start in March?＋
Early mornings can be cool, so bring a throwaway layer for the corrals and dress in layers you can shed as the day warms up.
When is the next LA Marathon?＋
The 2027 race is on Sunday, March 7, from Dodger Stadium to Century City.
Are there higher-end hotels closer to Dodger Stadium?＋
Not really. The hotels closest to Dodger Stadium on foot are mostly 2-star and unrated properties in Chinatown and Echo Park. The nearest 4-star and 5-star options are in the Bunker Hill and Grand Avenue corridor, about a 2-mile walk from the stadium. Those are worth considering if comfort after the race matters more than a shorter pre-race walk.
