Renaissance- Hollwood Hotel California

06/01/2007 Posted 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)

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

It's like staying in a cross between a mall, luxury hotel, and movie set. This entire hotel complex is kind of over the top, but a fun place to stay. Twist restaurant is yummy and the outdoor pool area is nice too.

Pros: Hollywood ambience, location, convenience

Cons: Big and overwhelming

I couldn't recommend this hotel enough! This hotel is in a great location located in the center of Hollywood, right next to Hollywood & Highland. The staff was friendly and helpful and recommended many great places to try. I've stayed in many hotels in L.A. and Hollywood and this one by far is the best!

Pros: location, room, staff

This hotel is simply great! My family stayed at the Renaissance for two days while in Los Angeles visting my brother and we loved it. It has very modern style, with a big, bright modern lobby, and great rooms equipped with everything you need, including a CD player! The restaurant. Twist, is excllent and we ended up eating there twice. Wonderful vegitarian options, by the way. I especially loved the outdoor pool, with a breathtaking view over LA. I must say, that the staff also was very friendly. Great California feel!!! Thanks Hollywood! "I'll be back."

We all came in for the holidays to see my sisters new baby, and stayed here for three nights. Wow! Beautiful place!!! with lots of great artwork and eclectic touches like a rock garden and a fish in a bowl in the room. My wife loved how the staff had the name of their favorite movies on their name tag. Anyway, Hollywood has changed a lot (for the better!) since we were last here, and this place is probably the best part of it all. Congratulations to my sisters family and new baby Claire!!!!! Welcome to Hollywood, baby!

Pros: family loved it, Close to everything

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at this hotel and loved it! The "mid century" modern decor, the rooms..... the restaurant TWIST (with sushi!!!!) ...the views of Hollywood...were all incredible! We flew in from NY and felt like movie stars as soon as we entered hotel. We were right in the middle of Hollywood, near the Chinese theatr and the new Hollywood and Highland complex. We recomend the hotel to all our friends, and anyone looking for a stylish experience in LA. Thanks for a great stay!

Pros: Location, views, sushi bar, really cool!

Cons: Nothing!
