The Spotlight on BLVD Hotel and Studios Universal-Hollywood Ascend Hotel Collection

Stylish Stay Steps from the Action in Studio City

Modern and design-forward, BLVD Hotel and Studios Universal-Hollywood Ascend Hotel Collection offers a boutique vibe in the heart of Studio City. Just a 10-minute walk to Universal Studios Hollywood and close to iconic music venues and Hollywood nightlife, this hotel blends comfort with a touch of California cool. Expect clean, contemporary rooms with mountain or garden views, plus thoughtful extras like microwaves and refrigerators.

Whether you're in town for a concert or a weekend getaway, this hotel delivers easy access to the city's top attractions without skimping on style or convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—just a short walk to Universal Studios and a quick ride to venues like the Hollywood Bowl and the Dolby Theatre. The hotel’s indoor pool and chill onsite bar offer great spots to unwind after the show. Late check-in from 3 PM gives flexibility for travel plans, and being set slightly off the main drag means quieter nights for post-concert recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a show together
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
- Couples looking for a fun weekend escape
- Fans who want a quiet place to recharge after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want location without the splurge

Food and Drink Options

There's a laid-back café and bar on-site—perfect for grabbing a pre-show drink or late bite. While there’s no full-service restaurant, having a microwave and fridge in every room means leftovers and snacks are covered. Plenty of dining spots are within walking distance, and early risers or late sleepers can easily find breakfast nearby.

Nightlife Options

The hotel’s bar is a great starting point for the night, especially if you're into casual vibes and craft cocktails. You're just a short ride (or adventurous walk) from Hollywood’s buzzing nightlife, including music lounges, rooftop bars, and DJ-fueled clubs.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and say the location is perfect for Universal and Hollywood events. Many highlight the friendly staff and easy parking. Reviews often mention how the hotel is a great mix of affordability and location, especially for concert and theme park visitors.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that walls can be a bit thin, so light sleepers might want earplugs—especially if neighbors come back late. There’s no full restaurant or room service, so plan ahead if you’re arriving super late and hungry.

The Bottom Line

A stylish and conveniently located base, BLVD Hotel and Studios Universal-Hollywood is a great pick for concert-goers who want to stay near the action without losing sleep—or their budget.

Didn’t get much sleep

Liked: It was close to Universal Studios
Disliked: We were placed on the side of the highway it was very noisy and there was a light outside that shone bright into our room. I had to wear ear plugs and a mask to get some sleep, never in my life in a hotel I’ve had to do this.
