Editorial Review for Hollywood & Highland – by Mar Yvette
In Short
Attracting more than 15 million visitors each year, this enormous complex lures both tourists and locals looking for entertainment in the form of shopping, dining, dancing, movies and, of course, lots and lots of people watching. With the historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre and famed Kodak Theatre (home of the Academy Awards) anchoring the sprawling block, the five-story center features some 60 shops, a handful of restaurants, including California Pizza Kitchen, The Grill and Koji's Sushi & Shabu Shabu, a central courtyard, the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel and the newly opened Spa Luce. Love it or not, this towering attraction adds just a bit of glamour to Tinseltown's world-famous, gritty boulevard.

I don't know why so many have complained about the parking, as every time i have been there parking is not a problem at all. I do agree it is hard to find your way around despite the "layout" board. it seems a bit like a maze where you think you are going one place and then end up right back where you started. The Coldstone ice cream always sems to run out of many flavors at least on the weekends so i wouldnt advise that place--if you are looking for a bargain i doubt you will find it, but it is a pretty place to see at least just once.
Cons: Filled with "to expensive stores"

I love this place, but i'm not a shopper. It's big, is almost always empty, sparkling clean, full of future history, and is next to three excellent movie theaters - Grauman's, The El Capitan, and the Chinese 6. Just remember to get your parking ticket validated before escaping the vast underground parking garage maze of doom!
Pros: Next to Grauman's, Mann Chinese 6, $2 parking
Cons: sometimes crowded
