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!

This hotel is beautiful. I would definitely recommend my family and friends to stay here if visiting LA. All staff polite and welcoming. The room was cleaned daily. The facilities were spotless. Hope to return again one day. Thank you so much 🙂

My daughter, granddaughter and I stayed at the Garland for the first time over the Thanksgiving weekend. We chose this hotel because of its location near Warner Brothers and Universal studios where we had reservations for various activities. The positive reviews and affordable pricing convinced us to choose the Garland over its competitors. We didn't have any expectations beyond a decent room, but from the moment our taxi drove up to the front doors, we felt a warm welcoming vibe. The property is well maintained, attractive, clean and well laid out. We were so impressed with the excellent service from all staff members. We were made to feel welcome and valued. Our room was very nice, and clean. Several times during our stay we requested extra items and received them promptly and curtiously. The restaurants and bar were also excellent. Very nice pool area. Added so much to our holiday getaway. Already planning to return. Read less

My parents met in Hollywood in the 70’s- my mom was visiting in my dad’s memory. Due to traffic and 50 years of changes her plans seemed unlikely. The staff had ideas, tips and routes to help her. An emotion and beautiful stay made possible by the staff’s eagerness to help. It was very clean and the pool and grounds were gorgeous.

My friend and I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights whilst on our multi-destination tour of the West Coast. It is quite simply one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The bedrooms are well furnished/decorated, the pool and the hot tubs are amazing, the restaurant food is excellent and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Our trip to Los Angeles was not for Universal (we spent most of our time touring film studios and roaming Beverly Hills!), but the shuttle bus to the theme park would make it very convenient for families. The shuttle also stopped at the metro station, which was very convenient for us too. In addition to the rooms and the impeccable service, the hotel offers movie nights in the pool, fab cocktails and a cute little shop/information stand. I will be returning back to LA in the future and there is no question as to which hotel I will be booking. Thanks you so much for a wonderful stay and making our holiday! Read less
