We recently spent five nights at the Hollywood Celebrity Hotel and had a truly delightful experience. The location is unbeatable—no car needed! There were many Hollywood sites within walking distance and convenient transportation, making our trip incredibly convenient.
The hotel’s charm was one of the highlights for us. It has that kitschy, nostalgic vibe you might find in a classic Route 66 motel. The interior is decorated with vintage Hollywood posters, and the lime-green decor transports you to another era.
The location could hardly be better. While there are other hotels within waking distance of the sites we wanted, many of them looked quite sketchy. You don’t have to cross a single street to reach key Hollywood locations or the nearby bus and metro lines.
The staff were exceptional throughout our stay. Alvin, the concierge, was a joy to interact with—always ready with a smile. The breakfast staff and housekeeping were also fantastic. We were especially impressed with Mr. Ifti, the owner of the private taxi the hotel recommended. His service was more affordable than Uber, and he even picked us up after a midnight show.
It’s clear that the hotel could use a refresh in some areas, but everything was very clean and fully functional, so we didn’t mind at all. If you appreciate a place with charm, history, and personality—this hotel delivers in spades.
If you’re looking for a centrally located hotel with fantastic service and unique charm, this is the place to stay.
