What they say
Also in Michelin and AFAR.
This is that rare Los Angeles hotel that’s cool and practical — it’s close to the Hollywood Bowl, and Universal Studios — with a generous dose of retro glamour.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
A complimentary vintage trolley runs to Universal Studios Hollywood, while the theaters and murals of North Hollywood sit just minutes away.

Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
The heated courtyard pool ends at a monogrammed outdoor fireplace, with a 24-hour fitness room nearby.

The Front Yard
The garden patio serves California fare beside a brick fireplace, with house-made pop tarts at weekend brunch.
The Lobby Bar
Bright orange stools and woven wicker seating line the counter, which pours mid-century craft cocktails.
How it began
Hollywood actress Beverly Garland built this property with her developer husband in 1972, and her family still operates it today.
