Travel tips

If you plan to visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, or Hollywood Bowl, these are close enough to schedule with minimal transit time from the hotel. Drivers may appreciate that Route 101 is less than a mile away and that parking is included, but allow extra time for traffic typical of Hollywood. For popular attractions a bit farther out—like Universal Studios Hollywood (about 4.6 km) or Griffith Observatory (about 3.4 km)—plan your timing to avoid peak congestion.
