The Garland

Hollywood, Los Angeles

Virgin rating

The hotel

Set in seven leafy acres, and with a 50-year tradition of serving guests, The Garland is relaxing, family friendly, and doesn’t skimp on style. Take in its relaxed retro vibe and comfy style. Eating at the restaurant here is, as they say, like an evening at an old friend's house. Request a table out on the deck for dining amongst the trees and plants, catch up over a drink in a cosy booth in the lounge or grab a seat at the bar. Check out the weekly programme of activities too — you could join a guided walk, watch a film by the pool or enjoy some complimentary wine tasting. All this, just minutes from LA’s hotspots. As a Preferred Hotel Partner of Universal Studios Hollywood℠, you’re just a free shuttle ride from the parks, so don't forget to purchase your park tickets too for the ride(s) of your life!

Great location, resort-like vibe, friendly and attentive service. Will happily return. I stayed as part of a multigenerational family group and everyone enjoyed their stay and felt looked after, despite the differences in age and needs. Be sure to check out The Front Yard restaurant.

My staycation at The Garland Hotel was an absolute delight. As a local resident, I wanted a getaway without the hassle of traveling far, and The Garland provided the perfect couples escape The retro-chic ambiance combined with lush gardens instantly transported me to a tranquil oasis, despite being just minutes away from home. The room was not only impeccably clean but also thoughtfully designed, with cozy furnishings and modern amenities. The highlight of my stay was definitely the balcony view, offering a serene glimpse of the surrounding neighborhood and mountains. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making me feel like a valued guest throughout my stay. Dining at the frontyard restaurant was a culinary delight, with flavorful dishes served in a charming outdoor setting. Ordering breakfast from the comfort of our room was also a great experience. The hotel's pool and fitness center provided additional relaxation and recreation options. In addition, there's a trolley that takes you to and back from Universal studios/City Walk. Overall, The Garland Hotel exceeded my expectations for a staycation, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a rejuvenating escape close to home or far. Read less

I had the best experience here! Came in for a quick trip to visit friends and usually I’m in and out of a hotel without much thought. The rooms are nice and one the workers there Rosie was so incredibly sweet and accommodating! Would definitely recommend, thank you Rosie for all your help!
