The Garland

Retro Cool Meets Concert Convenience in Studio City

Modern comfort with a hint of vintage Hollywood flair—The Garland is a stylish, laid-back hotel nestled in North Hollywood’s Studio City neighborhood. Just minutes from Universal City’s 50+ shops and restaurants, it’s a great base for music fans heading to performances around Hollywood, Burbank, or the LA area. With palm-lined courtyards, a cool California vibe, and plenty of Instagram-worthy spaces, this is a stay that feels like a mini escape in the middle of the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Garland is less than 10 minutes from Universal Studios Hollywood and nearby venues, making it ideal for catching a show without the traffic stress. The hotel’s late 12:00 PM checkout is perfect for post-concert sleep-ins, and free Wi-Fi keeps your group chat alive all night. Despite its proximity to the action, the hotel sits on a quiet tree-lined street, giving you a peaceful spot to unwind after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish Southern California stay
- Solo travelers in town for a bucket-list show
- Couples turning a concert into a full weekend getaway
- Fans who want a relaxing, low-key recovery space
- Budget-conscious music lovers—good value and a prime location

Food and Drink Options

Hungry after the show? The Front Yard, the hotel’s on-site restaurant, serves up fresh Californian cuisine and stays open late for dinner. Grab a cup of Seattle’s Best Coffee in the morning or order from the 24/7 room service menu if you’re not ready to leave your cozy room. There are also plenty of walkable restaurants and quick eats in Universal City just a mile away.

Nightlife Options

While The Garland keeps it chill onsite with cocktails on the outdoor patio at the Lobby Bar or Lounge, you’re close to the buzzing nightlife of Hollywood and Studio City. Whether you’re into quiet drinks or dancing till late, you’ll find something nearby to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests love the stylish retro décor, spacious rooms with balconies, and the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviews highlight the relaxing pool area and the great food at The Front Yard. The location is a frequent standout—close to attractions, yet tucked away enough to feel like a retreat.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can be a bit pricey, and some guests mention that the hotel can get busy during peak times. However, most agree the amenities and service make it worth it. If you're sensitive to city sounds, request a room facing away from the road.
