This hotel is in a fantastic location. It was our first trip to LA, and the Renaissance was the perfect base. The hotel was modern, and the rooms very spacious and clean. Ours on the 16th floor had great views of the Hollywood sign.

The hotel is part of the Hollywood and Highland Complex which has restaurants and shops, plus the Chinese theatre, Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Kodak Theatre where the Oscars tke place.

It's also close to the main stop for the sightseeing buses, which are a great idea if you are only in LA for a couple of days. They take you to Rodeo Drive, Farmers Market, Melrose Ave, Universal Studios etc. Also recommended would be a day at Santa Monica/Venice Beaches, which are gorgeous.

Great place to stay and see LA. Good location, nice attention to detail. Good, clean rooms, nice food and friendly serivce.

I'd almost given up on US hotels - famed for their quality of service - but this place restored that faith.

A great all rounder - which is what you want.

Highly recommend.

P.S. try to get a room high up room - the view is more than worth it!!!

Like the reviewer below, I also stayed here on Memorial Day weekend. I too saw the cast of Entourage filming an episode (and grabbed a photo with one of the actors!) – you really are in the centre of Hollywood when you stay here. The prime location is especially useful if you don’t plan on driving – you are steps away from sightseeing attractions and the tours depart from here. Taxis are also readily available outside the hotel. We used one to get to the Beverly Center mall which is about 5 miles away.

The room was just as I had expected. Tea/coffee making facilities were appreciated, and the room was a good size. I booked directly through the Marriott website and there is an option to request a high floor which increases your chance of seeing the Hollywood sign from your room. You can also see it from the pool which we used a couple of times. It was very pleasant.

I did not eat in the hotel or use the mini bar – you don’t really need to as there is a convenience store across the street and the old- fashioned Mel’s Diner for breakfast about 5 minutes away.

I paid £530 to stay from May 22nd for 4 nights. I think this is a good price, and I would definitely consider staying here again.

This hotel is in a great location. It's located literally right on the hollywood Walk of Fame. Also close to Universal Studios (one subway stop away), Chinese Grauman Theatre, Kodak theatre etc etc....We could also see the Hollywood Sign from our hotel room . It is also connected to this minimall which has many stores such as Louis Vuitton, Sephora etc...the hotel is also located close to a tourist info booth, which was convenient because they helped to guide our stay as well as we bought our tickets to Disneyland and universal studios from there and they sell them cheaper. Our hotel staff was also quite helpful. They also have a Hertz rental on location which was convenient and they gave us a good deal. The only thing about the location of this hotel is sometimes at night there would be lots of shady people around, which for a tourist can be a little intimidating. So just be careful in the evening/night. Overall this hotel was great and a very convenient location.
