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.

The entire experience was fantastic! The check-in, self parking, the hotel amenities and condition of the room, all top notch! Unfortunately our stay was brief but will definitely be booking here again in the future! The room just felt fresh and clean and put us totally at ease as soon as we opened the door!

I stayed at the Universal Hilton due to an evacuation order due to fires on January 8th. The staff was very accommodating and helpful in all my requests—-was able to check in early —-bought an additional day but when my evacuation was lifted they allowed me to cancel the second night with no problem. The restaurant was packed but the service was quick and the food was very good. The staff knew that most people were there because of the unusual circumstances of the LA Fires but they worked with their guests very professionally. I didn’t hear any complaints. I would recommend staying at the Universal Hilton anytime. Read less

Great experience at the Hilton/Universal. Excellent in every way. From the housekeeping to the room. Special accolades to Jerome at the front desk. He is fantastic. He’s responsive and beyond professional. Same for Kevin and Carlos. Looking forward to coming back soon.
