The Spotlight on El Royale Hotel - Near Universal Studios Hollywood

Classic Hollywood Charm Close to the Music Action

El Royale Hotel - Near Universal Studios Hollywood offers a retro-style stay in the heart of Studio City. With its old-school charm and free parking, this boutique property gives travelers a laid-back base just a short ride from iconic Los Angeles concert venues like the Hollywood Bowl and Dolby Theatre. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with must-haves like a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. You’ll also enjoy free WiFi and a complimentary continental breakfast to start your day—or recover from the night before.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and this hotel puts you within a quick drive to some of LA’s top music venues—without the hassle of downtown traffic. Being just 3 miles from the Hollywood Bowl and Dolby Theatre means you can catch your favorite artist and be back in your room in no time. It’s also a great pick for late-night arrivals, thanks to a 4:00 PM check-in and helpful luggage storage if you want to explore before check-in or after check-out. The quiet Studio City neighborhood offers a more relaxed vibe for post-show recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable LA base
  • Solo travelers catching a dream show
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans needing quiet post-concert rest
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with the hotel’s complimentary continental breakfast, perfect after a late night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the location on Ventura Boulevard means you’re steps away from casual eateries, diners, and coffee shops—many open late. Each room also has a microwave and fridge, great for reheating leftovers or stashing snacks.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself stays quiet, nightlife is close by. You’ll find trendy bars and lounges along Ventura Boulevard, and you’re just a short ride from the buzzing Hollywood nightlife scene. Whether you want to sip craft cocktails or catch some live music before or after your concert, the options are plentiful.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, cozy rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. Many highlight the free parking as a huge bonus in LA, and praise the hotel’s peaceful vibe despite being so close to major attractions. The location and value get repeated shoutouts, especially from concert-goers and Universal Studios visitors alike.

Areas for Improvement

The 10:00 AM checkout might feel a bit early after a late night, but the staff is accommodating with luggage storage. Some guests mention that the hotel is more motel-style in layout, but most agree it’s clean, comfortable, and well-kept.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Hollywood and want a charming, affordable stay with easy access and free parking, El Royale Hotel - Near Universal Studios Hollywood hits the right note.

It’s a bargain for the...

Liked: The location is great and very close to local attractions including Universal Hollywood. The property gives off classic Hollywood vibes while the inside of the rooms are modern and refurbished.
Disliked: The parking is a bit of an issue with tight spaces and it would help having multiple exits as the lot looks like it’s designed to do so. The price is a little much but it’s worth it for the location.

We had a pleasant stay...

Liked: I really appreciated that the room was very clean and that there were both a microwave and a refrigerator so we could have meals in our room and save some cash. The staff were very nice, and the coffee in the lobby was hot, fresh and STRONG! I would stay here again.
Disliked: The staff were all very nice, but they didn't seem to have a manager on duty in the morning so when I locked myself out of my room I had to find a housekeeper to let me in. Also the 10am checkout seemed a bit early to me considering check in is at 4pm and there are only a hand full of rooms. I was in the room when they cleaned one day so I know it can be done well in very little time. These are small things though.
