The hotel

Daring to be different, this is fast becoming recognised as one of the hippest hotels in Hollywood. As chic and playful as the city that surrounds it, Dream Hollywood is dressed for the red carpet – from the fresh dove-whites of its lobby and gadget-stuffed guest rooms, to the sheer opulence of its dining venues. Led by the formidable TAO Group, the restaurants take you from the Far East at dramatic TAO Asian Bistro, to the sun of Sicily at Luchini Pizzeria & Bar, and to old Hollywood glamour at Beauty & Essex, with its multi-ethnic menu. But winning the Oscar for best-dressed set is The Highlight Room, an off-the-charts rooftop venue that brings together a spectacular cast: a contemporary Californian menu, handcrafted cocktails, a swanky rooftop pool with perfectly padded loungers and private cabanas, and views out to the Hollywood sign.

We were able to walk through city and great restaurants nearby. We walked back from Hollywood Bowl which was mostly downhill!

Loved the hotel. Definitely appreciated our night time bartender. Very great atmosphere. The front staff were very pleasant and check in was quick and easy! Can't wait to come back!

Average service and amenities and adequate enough for the one night we were there. It is ok for a simple visit but does not have all the typical amenities and conveniences I prefer.

Stayed here for the first time last week. I knew there was a Destination fee/ "Facility Fee" of ~$50 (including tax) for this hotel but there was no explanation at check-in of what that fee was for. I essentially got absolutely NOTHING for that egregious fee. Is the morning coffee in the lobby what that fee was for??? The fact that I have to get dressed and go downstairs just to get my morning Joe is not acceptable for what claims to be high end property. Meanwhile, there is a full and complete mini bar with at least 20 different kinds of alcohol instead of a simple coffee machine. An obvious money grab, huh? Add to this the valet parking fee costing another ~$75 (including tax) and you're down ~$125 before even paying for the room itself. Tip: There is a private parking lot with in and out privileges a block away on Wilcox Ave. for $40 a night. The hotel is located in Hollywood as the name suggests. Unfortunately, it's become a kinda seedy area with lots of homeless people walking around begging. That's not really the hotel's fault but it does make staying there less and less desirable nowadays. Lastly, if you plan on working and/or getting some rest, there is loud, thumping music until at least 1 AM that makes that practically impossible. The room itself was nice enough though it had some of the rattiest, thinnest, shredded towels I've ever seen outside of a motel property. Crass and low class. I know I won't be staying at this property again. Read less

Good quality hotel with nice reception area. Strange shower/toilet arrangement in the room - shower was across the hallway opposite the toilet but just a bit odd.

Good quality hotel with nice reception area. Strange shower/toilet arrangement in the room - shower was across the hallway opposite the toilet but just a bit odd. Complimentary coffee in reception on a morning and wine/cheese at 5pm are nice touches. Rooftop pool/bar was closed while we were there which was very disappointing as there was no work going on during our stay. Good location for Hollywood tourist attractions but general area of Hollywood is very run down. The Hollywood area of LA is very run down and very tacky. Not what we were expecting at all. Read less
