The hotel

A Hollywood hangout with noteworthy neighbours, this LA bolthole’s just a block from the theme park heaven of Universal Studios, and just a subway trip from the star-studded sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. That hasn’t stopped Hilton Los Angeles Universal City coming up with a few extra treats of its own though – our favourite being FIVE on the Hill, where you can enjoy signature dishes and freshly-curated cocktails with Hollywood Hills in the background. Most make a beeline straight for Universal Studios – and, despite it being just around the corner, there’s a complimentary shuttle to save you walking (great for hot days!). And, while you’re there, you can also take in a movie, grab cocktails or craft beers, hit big-name shops, and dine at celeb-chef eateries in the neon lustre of Universal CityWalk.

We spent two nights last week in the Hilton Los Angeles, and it felt like an absolute treat, particularly to our sore feet after days of park-hopping. Every amenity of the hotel itself was first-rate, and every staff member we interacted with was prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. In particular, Erik in the attendant's department was practically underfoot every time we needed something, from porter services to information. Would strongly recommend the Hilton for anyone staying in Hollywood, not just park-goers! Read less

From the cafe to the rooms.. very clean, service was on point. Very friendly front desk: Michelle and Linda were exceptional. Close enough to walk to Universal Studios. If you don't want to walk, free shuttle service to take you to CityWalk. Will gladly stay again!
