The La Venta Inn is a historical landmark property located in Palos Verdes Estates, California, United States.

Constructed in 1923 by the direction of Frank A. Vanderlip and the Palos Verdes Project, the La Venta Inn was originally called "Clubhouse 764" and was used as a sales office.

[1] The property is significant for its role in developing the peninsula, hosting elite guests from around the world, and becoming a landmark location for weddings in Southern California.

Social events such as proms, galas, and weddings were held at La Venta Inn and it soon became a prominent gathering place for the Palos Verdes community.

Visitors included aviator Charles Lindbergh, violinist Jascha Heifetz, and movie stars Greta Garbo, Tyrone Power, Cary Grant, Gloria Swanson, Myrna Loy, Errol Flynn, Betty Grable, Margaret Sullavan, Charlie Chaplin, Janet Gaynor and Bob Hope.

A Japanese submarine had torpedoed the lumber-carrying freighter Absaroka on Dec. 24th, and the artillery battery at Fort MacArthur opened fire just as some residents were sitting down to Christmas dinner, leading them to think they were under attack.

Jay Lawyer, the first owner of La Venta after the Palos Verdes Project, sold the property in 1941 to Broadway actor Frank Conroy after the Depression muted the Peninsula real estate boom he had anticipated.
