Bohemian Vibes at the Redbury Hollywood
Aside from the standard amenities, the Redbury Hollywood is anything but ordinary. Located at the prestigious corner of Hollywood and Vine, the Redbury looks like a fancy Hollywood theater from the outside. There are 57 guest suites, each with a European-style kitchen, a walk-in rain shower, and more. Don’t miss Cleo, chef Danny Elmaleh’s Middle Eastern restaurant, and The Library, an indoor/outdoor lounge with a select number of Cleo offerings. Just 1/2 block south you’ll also find Katsuya by Starck, offerings cuisine from Master Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi. Rates at the Redbury Hollywood start at $320 a night, and the posh Hollywood Premiere Suite is $640 per night.

Luxury at the Loews Hollywood Hotel
If you’re familiar with the Loews brand, you’ll know that rooms here are luxuriously appointed and offer decor that fits the Hollywood vibe. Room tones are slate gray, deep violet, and burnt orange.

You’ll also find USB ports in the desk and nightstands. Don’t miss the rooftop pool with complimentary poolside cabanas. The Loews Hollywood is located at the corner of Hollywood and Highland, so room views may include the Hollywood Sign, Capitol Records, and TCL Chinese Theater.
Stay Right in the Action at the W Hollywood
Located right on Hollywood Boulevard, across the street from the Pantages Theatre, the W Hollywood is one of the best luxury hotels located in the heart of the action. Rooms have European platform beds with pillowtop mattresses and luxury bedding and white marble bathrooms. Some suites have semi-circular, chic sofas, while others have private terraces to enjoy the stunning views. There is a rooftop pool, 24-hour fitness center, and more.

Budget Friendly at the Motel 6 Hollywood
If budget is your most important concern, consider the Motel 6 Hollywood on Whitley Avenue. It’s not fancy like the nearby hotels, but it’s also only around $110 a night.

You can bring your pet for no charge, and kids stay free in their parents’ rooms.
