To support an easy means of travel to the Hotel Redondo, two lines of railway were constructed and serviced by first-class train service that ran throughout the day. These new rail lines connected Redondo Beach to the wealthy residents of Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Most visitors arrived in Redondo Beach either by horse and buggy from greater Los Angeles or by steamships, which stopped at one of the three piers four times a week. Many tourists who visited after the turn of the century arrived on Henry Huntington’s newly completed Redondo Railway cars that provided service from Downtown Los Angeles, along the Beach Cities and terminating at the front of the Hotel Redondo. Notable guests to the Hotel were frequently announced in the "Los Angeles Herald" newspaper and celebrated with much fanfare upon their arrival. Because of prohibition and declining tourism, the Hotel Redondo closed its doors and in 1925 was sold for scrap lumber–the price was $300.
