“A Hollywood icon, not for its hotel but for its "Magic Castle". The secret hideaway, almost impossible to access, unless you're with a magician or you stay at the hotel! The property itself is unremarkable, but is excellently located and includes a pool - gold dust in the heart of town.”

Hotel review

With all the charm ambience of a well run motel The Magic Castle Hotel, though it may not appear it, is an iconic stay. Suites sleep a maximum of four and come complete with well equipped kitchens, separate bedroom, sitting and dining areas. You can base yourself here for a few days and feel quite comfortable. An excellent breakfast is included in the rate, and dinner can be booked at The Magic Castle restaurant. The sunny yellow pool area is a great place to relax during the day and you are moments from some of Hollywood's most popular sights: The Dolby Theatre, the Chinese Theatre, and The Hollywood Walk of Fame - although really the main draw when staying here are the magic shows, so make sure to check the week's listings - it gets busier later in the week.
