I stayed at the Renaissance for several days for a conference with about 450 of my "closest friends". I am a Marriott gold but don't think that had any influence on the great treatment I got during my stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The food at our meeting was really good - I have been going to these kinds of meetings for years and this is truly the first time I can honestly say that! The meeting facilities were nice and the hotel staff there also genuinely nice, helpful. There is a small concierge lounge on an upper floor for a quiet evening beverage and snack, once again the woman managing that lounge was very gracious.

The hotel is "connected" to a small shopping mall and just through the mall you will find yourself amidst the crazy Hollywood Blvd area. It is jam-packed with tourists and, well I would call them oddballs, that roam the streets in costume or passing out CDs or selling tours. It is a cacaphony of everything Hollywood represents. I guess everyone has to experience it once. ??

There are any number of restaurants within a couple minute walk from the hotel, as well as a CVS drug with a Fresh and Easy grocery next door, aabout a 5 minute walk.

Spa Luce was nice, not spectacular. The hotel has a small fitness center and a rooftop pool with food service.

My only complaint was with the elevators that I think are possessed. They never seemed to do what you wanted them to do. They often completely skipped your floor and when a light would go on above one, indicating it was going to stop on your floor, it would never show up. A small detail but probably made the folks not with our group want to kill us when 400 of us would need to go to our rooms at the same time!

This hotel has it for sure... Adjacent to the Kodak and Chinese Theaters, just off Hollywood Boulevard with a stunning view of the Hollywood Sign, what more could you ask. The facility is beautiful, with spacious rooms styled in an updated mid century modern decor. The 20th floor event had some original Eames photos in the hallways. The bathroom could use a little love, but a spacious shower stocked with Aveda products made up it. The lobby features a coffee bar with Starbucks coffee, but just steps away from lobby is a real Starbucks, so skip the lobby bar. As to meals, we only ate breakfast in the hotel, but it was a miss. Overpriced and ordinary, with all the other options in the adjacent complex, skip it. I will stay here again, for the convenience and the attentive staff for sure.

Very Nice Hotel, Nice Rooms although Bathrooms could use some work, great pool although gym had no weight or resistance machines. Great free M&M's in the Lobby. I would reccomend staying here if you want to be in Hollywood.

I really like this hotel, it is in the perfect location to see and enjoy Hollywood and it is right next to the subway stop to get to Universal. This is my new favorite LA property.
