The hotel

As a Preferred Hotel Partner of Universal Studios Hollywood℠, you’re just a free shuttle ride from the parks. Yet, once inside this North Hollywood boutique hotel, you may feel a world away. 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 our first venture since the pandemic began, it gave us a great sense of relief to see that safety protocols are such a priority at this property - both with respect to having the rooms cleaned and sanitized, and simply enforcing the mask rules at all common areas. Overall, it was an exceptional visit and we will certainly be back. Read less

I have gone here for years. I feel at home when we come to stay. I love that they are very COVID friendly. When you first come your room door has a sealed of cleanliness. The staff is all friendly and helpful. I love that they are centrally located and love the shuttle to Universal Studios. Thank you, we will be back.
