Relax after a day of panels, cosplay contests, and celebrity meetups in one of our 173 comfortable rooms, each featuring a mini-fridge, microwave, free Wi-Fi, and a flat-screen TV. We even offer pet-friendly rooms for those not attending with battle-axe-wielding dogs.

How Close Are We to the Con?

Golden Sails Hotel is just 5 miles (around a 10–15 minute drive) from the Long Beach Convention Center at 300 E. Ocean Blvd. Enjoy easy access to the show while staying tucked away near the peaceful marina — ideal for relaxing between con sessions.
