Highland Gardens Hotel - A historic Hollywood hideaway with celebrity heritage and garden grounds

Located just off Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood Hills, this 2-star Los Angeles hotel occupies a distinctive mid-1950s building designed by modernist architect Edward Fickett. Highland Gardens features over 70 accommodations, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, many with balconies and full kitchens. A year-round heated outdoor pool anchors the property's garden grounds. The hotel serves complimentary continental breakfast daily from 7:00 AM. Laundry facilities and 24-hour reception are available, along with free Wi-Fi throughout. Small pets under 25 pounds are welcome for an additional fee. Highland Gardens stands 0.5 miles from The Magic Castle and 0.5 miles from the Dolby Theatre, Hollywood Wax Museum, and Madame Tussauds. The property's film industry connections include hosting fashion shoots, television productions, and celebrity guests.

Pros

Historic property with documented entertainment industry heritage since the 1950s

Garden setting provides a quiet atmosphere in central Hollywood

Walking distance to multiple major Hollywood attractions

Popular among performers at the exclusive Magic Castle

Cons

Some areas of the property are not ADA compliant due to over-sloped surfaces

Limited parking available at additional cost

“I see a classic Hollywood hideaway with a unique garden setting; rare for its location. The architecture whispers stories of a glamorous past, appealing to those who appreciate mid-century design and celebrity lore. Its proximity to both the Walk of Fame and the Academy of Magical Arts adds to the allure, while the suite setups make it ideal for families seeking a bit more space.”
