Loews Hollywood Hotel

As one of the area’s largest and most prominent properties, the 628-room Loews Hollywood Hotel commands a landmark position at the literal center of Hollywood’s most famous intersection. The hotel is not just near the action; it is physically integrated with the Ovation Hollywood complex and, most notably, the Dolby Theatre, the renowned home of the Academy Awards. This unparalleled location places guests directly on the star-lined Hollywood Walk of Fame and mere steps from the historic TCL Chinese Theatre, with its famous celebrity handprints. For visitors seeking a base for entertainment, studio tours, and pure sightseeing, this hotel is the undisputed epicenter.

The hotel’s standout amenity is its sprawling 5th-floor rooftop pool and sun terrace. This truly is an urban oasis, perched above the bustle of Hollywood Boulevard, offering a chic escape with private cabanas, plentiful loungers, and a seasonal pool bar. More importantly, it provides one of the most coveted and direct views of the iconic Hollywood Sign, making it a premier spot for relaxing and capturing the perfect photo. Beyond the pool, the hotel caters to wellness with a 24-hour, well-equipped fitness center and the full-service Exhale Spa, which offers a range of treatments and yoga classes.

Dining options within the hotel cater to various needs. “Preston’s” is the hotel’s signature restaurant, serving California-inspired contemporary American cuisine in a polished setting for breakfast and lunch. For evening cocktails and dinner, the “H2 Kitchen & Bar” provides a vibrant social hub in the main lobby. For those on the move, “Bodega” is a convenient grab-and-go market offering Starbucks coffee, fresh pastries, sandwiches, and quick bites.

Given its scale, the hotel is a major conference and event venue, featuring extensive meeting facilities, including the grand Ray Dolby Ballroom. The 628 guest rooms and suites are modern and stylish, often described as having a chic, metropolitan decor. The primary draw for many rooms is the view: guests can specifically book accommodations that look out over the glittering Los Angeles skyline or, most famously, offer clear, unobstructed views of the Hollywood Sign. From standard rooms to expansive suites, the accommodations provide a comfortable and sophisticated retreat from the energetic streets below. The hotel’s sheer size and unbeatable location make it a bustling, dynamic hub for tourists, large-scale events, and business travelers seeking to be in the absolute heart of the entertainment world.
