The hotel

Set in seven leafy acres, and with a 50-year tradition of serving guests, The Garland is relaxing, family friendly, and doesn’t skimp on style. Take in its relaxed retro vibe and comfy style. Eating at the restaurant here is, as they say, like an evening at an old friend's house. Request a table out on the deck for dining amongst the trees and plants, catch up over a drink in a cosy booth in the lounge or grab a seat at the bar. Check out the weekly programme of activities too — you could join a guided walk, watch a film by the pool or enjoy some complimentary wine tasting. All this, just minutes from LA’s hotspots. As a Preferred Hotel Partner of Universal Studios Hollywood℠, you’re just a free shuttle ride from the parks, so don't forget to purchase your park tickets too for the ride(s) of your life!

This was our first stay at the Garland and we will definitely be back. Friendly, professional staff, comfortable quiet room and a relaxed vibe throughout the hotel. We enjoyed the bar and restaurant The Front Yard and overall were really happy with our experience.

We had a great time staying at The Garland for the weekend. It was the perfect home base as we were in town for a wedding. The staff was super kind and helpful, the restaurant was delicious, and the location was prime!

Was looking for a hotel that was not too far from Universal studios Hollywood but affordable. I decided on booking this one and was not disappointed. Was so happy when I walked into the lobby it’s adorable and the whole property has this vibe to it kinda old Hollywood. The property is very well taken care of the room was clean and bed was very comfortable. They have self park and valet there is a charge for both. I chose self park and felt very safe coming in late. You have to scan your hotel card to get into parking lot. Pool is so cute and they do special events on different nights. They also have a shuttle to the park and this hotel is not far from Hollywood walk of fame area. Definitely would stay here again. Read less

After a long day of car, shuttle, plane, bus, subway, and Lyft, we were excited to see The Garland. LA friends recommended that we stay there. The reservations were very pleasantly and easily made. Our adjoining rooms were comfortable and convenient. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. I was even offered a tour. The trees and foliage complement the buildings and provide a barrier from the busyness of the city. The location provides easy access to the 101 and a trolley is available to go to the subway station. The Garland was also very welcoming to our many friends in LA who came to visit us at the restaurant, poolside, and on the patio. Read less

The Garland is a fantastic hotel. Totally retro & funky. Check in staff were super friendly and even gave us suggestions on where to go in San Diego (where we travelled too after LA) Rooms are spacious and clean, there was a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities. On our floor (ground) we had a hydration station where you can fill up water bottles and also fill up the ice bucket in your room. Bed was super comfy and room cleaned daily with fresh towels etc. Because of the location of the hotel its not within walking distance to the main attractions (apart from Universal) so the car was very handy. The trolly down to Universal was great. We did have dinner one night in the main restaurant at the front of the hotel and it was fantastic. Delicious cocktails. We also enjoyed the movie around the pool in the evening, it was a perfect was way to end a busy day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Garland and would not hesitate to return. Read less
