When you book a hotel in the heart of Hollywood, you expect a certain amount of glamour and style. The Renaissance Hollywood is a shining example of what’s great about Tinseltown – and it’s situated in the absolute epicenter. The hotel is connected to the home of the Oscars – the Kodak Theatre – and it is here that Oscar hopefuls calm their pre-ceremony jitters. At the Renaissance Hollywood, modern design rules. This is no stodgy, classically designed hotel: It’s a vibrant, cutting-edge property where Warhol and Lichtenstein themes reverberate throughout. From the entrance lobby to the stunning Panorama suites, bright colors and modernist shapes abound, giving the feeling that you’re living in the height of style. Blues and yellows blanket the beds, with accents of red to catch the eye. Share a meal at Twist, where menu items were designed to be sampled and savored among friends. The Renaissance Hollywood is located adjacent to the glistening new Hollywood & Highland complex at the center of Hollywood Boulevard. Stars fill the sidewalk outside of the hotel (bronze stars on the sidewalk, that is), and Grauman’s Chinese Theater is within walking distance.
