Hilton Los Angeles Universal City

Hollywood, Los Angeles

Virgin rating

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.

Great location for Universal Studios and Warner Bros. Shuttle was great but it is walkable to Universal. Breakfast not included. Bed was uncomfortable. Had a really nice gift shop with snacks and half price Super Mario Bros bands. Also could get milk and cereal for breakfast if needed.

The staff was wonderful from check-in to check-out but bellman Erick went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and answered any of our questions. We arrived late at night and Erick made sure our bags were taken care of, brought up to the room and answered all our questions.
