Renaissance Hollywood Hotel And Spa

Beautiful, but lacking in some areas...

by chloeluvsushi

I was so excited to stay in the Renaissance Hotel on our last visit to Hollywood! It's a breathtaking hotel; beautiful artwork in the lobby, gorgeous rooms, and every room I've booked has had a beautiful view.

While my stay was very much enjoyed, there were a few bumps in the road. My friend and I had to ask a maid every single day for 2 clean towels. They would take ours without replacing them and fail to give us any until we asked.

Pros: There's a Starbucks centered RIGHT in the lobby! Score! Also, the hotel is located right in the H&H Shopping Center. Very nice. Clean bathrooms. Good views.

Cons: Services could be improved. No WiFi. :(

BUT, if you're looking for a hotel that's walking distance from Ripley's, Madam Taussand's, Grauman's Theatre, the Walk of Fame, and fab shopping like H&M, XXI Forever, Zara, and American Apparel, the Renaissance is a great choice!

Fun & Classy

by Lujan

One of my favorite all time hotels it combines the excitement of hollywood with the sophistication of a luxurious five star hotel. From the moment you valet your car before the search lit waterfall you know you are in trendy Hollywood at a luxurious level. The rooms are fun and classy with amazing views of Hollywood and the LA basin. Can't complain about the price because you are in LA. Recommend it to anyone looking to party it up in LA and need a place to crash while still feeling like they are at the party.

• Pros: Uniquely Sophisticated
• Cons: Traffic in and out

Nice room, Great healthy restaurant, friendly staff!

by love_singing

Great place to stay! Everyone is very friendly and helpful, our room quiet (it was memorial weekend...very busy, but we requested a room at the end of the hall), and the Twist restaurant was surprisingly good! We eat very healthy... and we were not disappointed! Omelets, fruit, oatmeal (and lots more...) for breakfast, and they had a great dinner menu, most of which looked very good -and- healthy. However, they have a dinky little fitness room (I think the Roosevelt, which is just down the street, has a big, newly renovated one?). We went to the LA fitness club which is just two blocks down Hollywood Blvd (meh... $20 for one day?...) to work out. Overall, I'd definitely come back, because of Twist. (on another note, if you're going to the Pantages Theatre...take a taxi, it's a bit of a walk).

• Pros: Friendly staff, loved Twist
• Cons: Fitness "room" (literally, its just a room)

Great hotel

by emilchua

Spent the weekend here with the family over Easter weekend. Fabulous hotel in a great location. The rooms were clean and spacious. The staff were all very attentive. We had dinner and breakfast at Twist, the hotel restaurant and the food there were also outstanding. The full buffet breakfast @ $20 was a steal, shame we are not big eaters. Included in my package was a discount card to the shopping mall attached to the hotel, my wife was happy.

• Pros: Weekend deal, Twist restaurant
• Cons: None
