Stayed for 4 nights 23rd July 2007.We are a family of four with two children 10 and 6 years.This is a brilliant hotel.The location is excellent and the view from our room on the 15th floor was breathtaking.The Mall underneath the hotel is perfect for eating and shopping.You could not be any closer to where the stars all left their mark on the walk of fame.As for the hotel, the staff were very welcoming and polite.The swimming pool is excellent for a cooling dip in the LA heat.Also the views aren't bad!! Stay here if you are stopping in LA for any time whatsoever, whether for one night or a week..
Eat your breakfast at Johnny Rockets in the shopping mall.There is a great diner over the road from Hollywood boulevard called 'Mels Diner' eat there, fully recommended.Also do the starlines tour of the celebrity homes..Brilliant.All in all we stayed 4 nights and were able to visit Santa Monica, Rodeo Drive and we drove to the Malibu beach areas.A dream stay to start our holiday.

The saddest part was that I stayed here only for one night! I would love to return again and stay for a longer period. We were a family and had booked 2 rooms. Being a platinum elite card holder, I was upgraded to an executive suite with a king bed and a connecting room with 2 double beds and had access to the club lounge. Valet parking was good albeit a bit pricey at 29 bucks. Check in was like a breeze and my kids leapt with joy when they drew the blinds of the room and saw the magnificent view of Hollywood hills in front of them. You could literally spend the entire day gazing out at the view. The rooms were spacious and well decorated. For that matter the suite is not a 2 room suite as would be expected but rather its a large room with a seating area. The bathroom was huge and had a large dressing room as well. The lounge was fine but not as well equipped as I expected it - there were no constant soft drinks available as such. At 5 pm the cocktails and hot snacks were placed and in the morning a reasonable breakfast of continental fare with 1-2 hot items were placed. Location is par excellence and lots of shops and restaurants are nearby. Not to forget that you walk into the Chinese Theater and Kodak theater next door. Overall its a lovely property and very well maintained in every aspect.. The staff are great too and I would definitely return to this place again were I to visit LA.

I enjoyed my stay at the Renaissance Hollywood. Check in was quick and the Front Desk personnel were very friendly. Also when we arrived by Taxi the bellman opened the door and greeted us like the "stars" we are.

When making the reservations, we asked for fridge and by the time we checked in and went for a walk and came back the fridge was there. by 9:30 the maid was there to clean the rooms.

Hotel is very convenient especially for people who don't have their own transportation. We took tours and we were able to go
to Universal as the Metro Station was right there.

I will go back to this hotel again and hopefully it won't be too long away.

Stayed 3 nights in an executive suite on the 15th floor with amazing views of the Hollywood hills/sign. The room was large with expansive windows. Overall service in the hotel was exceptional as well. Don't worry about the spa renovation warning on the hotel's website. This in no way interferes with the hotel overall and noise was not a problem. Location, location, location....a walkway leads to the very nice shopping center connecting all the major Hollywood tourist sites for great pictures. This is an above-average property. One suggestion: go early if you plan to have the breakfast buffet. The line/layout of the buffet gets long due to the setup. I would stay here again without hesitation. I have stayed at numerous hotels in the area including some very expensive 5-star properties in Beverly Hills, and the Renassance Hollywood ranks at the top of my list.
