Hotel Amarano Hollywood – Burbank in Burbank, CA

We met friends at the hotel restaurant (FYC). It was a great afternoon on the quiet patio. The food quality was excellent and the menu selections were ideal for a leisurely Sunday afternoon. The princes are what you would expect for a boutique hotel. Most of the appetizers and mixed drinks were in the $15 range. I was very impressed that they did not charge for visitor parking. Our server, Johny, was outstanding. He was very personable and went out of his way to move chairs and patio umbrellas so everyone was comfortable.

When we landed in LA, I thought something was a little strange when the skies were not as sunny. They were a little hazy and I didn’t know why. Once we got into our vehicle and got to the hotel, we learned that there were fires that were happening in the Palisades. When I looked out my window of the hotel, I could see the smoke filled air. I could tell that this event was impacting the hotel, because they were pretty busy. We were there for business and pleasure so we decided to stay overnight. However, our business event was eventually canceled because of the fires. The hotel itself is nice and clean. My room was nice and clean. One complaint was that my toilet kept running unless I jiggled the handle. The bed and pillows were very cozy. There was a robe in the closet, and there were other amenities, such as a refrigerator, a Keurig, a walk-in shower and a fitness room and pool. The continental breakfast consisted of bagels, yogurt, granola, fruit, and coffee. There were no real hot foods. I didn’t get to really enjoy the area because we left the very next day trying to escape the fires. Would I stay at this hotel again if we were to go back? Probably not. it was $300 a night, but they offered a triple AAA discount which brought it into reason, but there is still a $40 resort fee that you have to pay daily. So be prepared for that.

This is a great property. The service from the valet, front desk, the bar area is equal to any 5-star property. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. We stayed there before we headed to the Rose Bowl and the property was in a great location as well. For any reason you go to Burbank and want a very nice hotel with great service, it's worth staying at the Hotel Amarano.

Very nice, comfortable and accommodating in the heart of Hollywood. I wish the furniture had been more comfortable, but we made it work. Beautiful hotel, very well decorated, and a staff that made it that much more pleasant. Will definitely be staying there on our next visit. I wish all hotels were like this one.

Room was great. Hotel staff and experience was great as well. I happened to go to the hotel bar while they were having a bartending class, then welcomed me and even gave me a free drink. This was an act of kindness by the hotel and was great! Would recommend!
