The Garland

Hollywood, Los Angeles

Star rating

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!

How do we love thee, Garland Hotel? Let us count the ways. For your wonderfully unique retro décor and ambiance that made our most recent stay so special, For the warm smiles and phenomenal help David and Gober gave us at the front desk, For your super clean, comfortable rooms, with a lovely view of the pool and grounds, For every single, smiling staff member eager to make our stay the best, For the delight of seeing many of our favorites again at the Front Yard restaurant (Sonia, Alicia, Savira), And upon our departure from this remarkable, hidden oasis, we love you for the wonderful memories and restful days you once again helped us create. (Were we celebrated 19th century poets and not a mere boomer/millennial family, we might have come up with a more descriptive title for this review.) Read less

This was a once in a lifetime Route66 holiday I’d done and my last four nights were here. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and very friendly. The room was amazing and freshly done every day. Didn’t use the pool but it looked really nice. The restaurants were extremely nice and the food was amazing. There are laundry facilities on site which I used and everywhere was clean and tidy. Would definitely highly recommend this hotel. Free shuttle bus to Hollywood studios which runs regularly during the day for guests. Read less

This hotel is beautiful and all the staff were friendly and helpful. I will say, it might've been a little too fancy for us. We stayed because of the free shuttle to Universal which is very close. But the rooms had no microwave, the store had upscale snacks that my kids weren't fans of, and the restaurant had a lot of elevated food that just wasn't for us. Breakfast was nice though. My son did enjoy the movie nights by the pool, but the sounds was a little muffled. Overall, a nice stay, but I might pick something a little more basic next time. Read less

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!
