Make the Most of Your Universal City Stay

Entertainment capital of Los Angeles

Universal City exists as a purpose-built entertainment district where the world's oldest continuously operating film studio meets modern theme park innovation. The area centers on Universal Studios Hollywood, welcoming visitors since Carl Laemmle first invited the public to watch silent films being made in 1915. Today's experience blends working soundstages with immersive attractions like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World, while the famous Studio Tour showcases active production facilities. The neon-lit CityWalk promenade functions as an idealized urban street connecting the theme park to hotels and parking.

Business hub with Hollywood access

Corporate travelers will find exceptional infrastructure here, with the Sheraton Universal and Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City offering extensive meeting facilities and executive lounges favored by entertainment industry professionals. The 36-story Universal City Plaza tower houses major media headquarters, while hotel ballrooms regularly host conferences and diplomatic events.

Upscale dining options like VIVO Italian Kitchen and The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium are within the CityWalk complex.

Strategic location for exploration
