Another business trip that I tagged along. hubby was working in the area for a week so I joined for the latter weekend it was a cute, quaint spot that was walking distance to some fabulous food spots! continental breakfast included (small cup of yogurt, granola, fruit and a pastry + coffee) breakfast served in the bar/lounge. tons of seating including couch options, table options, bar option and outdoor patio seating. service was super friendly. rooms were comfortable with great bath products and a really nice shower. Comfy robes for use in rooms. a few things were missing though (soap, slippers...so odd) coffee bar in room. nice table and seating area in room. enjoyed the pool one day...there were some very well mannered small kids in the pool so i opted for jacuzzi. it was nothing fancy but still nice. I hear we will be back on a future work trip (yay). valet only...i think it was $45 a day read more

I booked a 4 night stay at this hotel. Travel plans forced me to call to say I would not be able to check in on the first night and to please keep my reservation open. I arrived the next afternoon only to find they had cancelled my reservation and could find no notes of staff having spoken to me. And they had no rooms or redress... Steam is still coming out of my ears... Thankfully the Hotel Burbank stepped up and accommodated me easily and happily. Run! do not walk away from considering the Hotel Amarano. They give the hospitality business a bad name. read more

Booked this boutique hotel since it was a 7-minute drive to Universal Studios and was really impressed with the service and cleanliness of the rooms. Loved the ambience and lobby decor as well! Note that it's valet parking only (we had to stop by an ATM for cash tips) and the continental breakfast is made to order, unlike the traditional buffet style of other hotels. We nearly ran late for our appt because we didn't realize the continental breakfast was not grab-and-go. read more

If you're ever in the Burbank area, you owe it to yourself to jump on resort pass.com and spend an afternoon at the pool at Hotel Amarano. It's a beautiful tranquil oasis with a heated pool and a hot tub, plenty of lounge chairs and towels, two couches on swings, and fantastic pool service. You just scan the QR code attached to your chair and place your order -- and 10 to 15 minutes later, you're having lunch and drinks by the pool. Or dinner and drinks. It's a great way to have a peaceful daycation and feel 1000 miles away. read more

We, along with so many others, had to quickly evacuate during the Eaton Canyon fires. We wanted to be close to home, but out of the danger zone so we went to Burbank and googled "pet friendly hotels near me" and the Amarano Hotel came up. We called, they had a room and we booked it! We ended up staying 4 nights, and despite the circumstances we really enjoyed it. The people could NOT have been nicer or more accommodating. Everyone, from the valet to the front desk to the waiter to the housekeepers, were incredibly friendly. There were a lot of tense guests, and a LOT of dogs, and everyone seemed to keep their cool. The food in the little restaurant was very good, and they have a nice happy hour too. The cocktails were delicious!! The room had a great coffee machine. Room service was good. We especially enjoyed their salads. I have to take the staff at the hotel for making a crazy situation as good as possible. I spoke with some friends who have stayed here under normal circumstances and they verified that they really enjoyed it also. read more

Planned a surprise overnight stay for a 15th year Anniversary celebration. The hotel staff were very accommodating with my special request. The rooms are elegant and classy. Special crafted bed frames, distinctive paint color schemes reminiscent of old Hollywood and beautiful sunset views if room windows are facing east, Recently hung out here with my friends Te-See, Nikki and Wifey for cocktails. First time back since the first visit, very nice hotel. The FYC (For Your Consideration) Restaurant offers nice bites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the patio area looks comfy and the lounge area is designed for socializing. Very Nice read more

I don't know WHAT the other reviewers issues were- this place is a DREAM. It's so stylish, with the nicest, most thoughtful and helpful staff ever- it feels effortless and real for them. And the room was beautiful and clean and the bed is SO comfortable. I come to LA for business a lot since moving after the fires, and this is the ONLY hotel I will stay at now- OH, the restaurant is fabulous, such great food, lovely breakfast, continental and regular. I had all of my meetings there, it was awesome! Thank you so much Amarano! Can't wait to be back! read more

As a family on vacation in California we wanted to find a hotel that was affordable & wasn't run down while still being in a close proximity to our destination. Price wise, it was in the middle price range, it wasn't cheap however it also wasn't the most expensive hotel in the area. Overall, it was a good stay, there was a small downside or two, but that is almost expected when traveling. There was a bit of confusion when we first arrived as we had booked two rooms through a booking site & were not aware the booking site had put the reservations under two of our names since the confirmation only showed one name with "2 rooms" under it. It took a few minutes, but they were able to get us into two rooms, although they did end up overcharging our credit card so we had to come back down so they could fix it. Thankfully they realized the mistake right away. We liked that it was right across the street from a small shopping center that had restaurants, a grocery store, Starbucks & more to make it continent to walk over and grab anything you might need. It was also located close to the freeway & several tourist type attractions which was the biggest draw for this hotel, was that it was close to everything we had planned on doing during our trip. Our party was a little surprised at the breakfast though, we've stayed in hotels that were much cheaper that had a breakfast spread better suited to multiple appetites which included cereal, eggs, pancakes or even make your own waffles. For the price per night for this hotel you would think they would have something similar. The first morning they had three flavors of bagels, yogurt, a bowl of granola bars, some fresh fruits, mini muffins/pastry and coffee. The second morning they had plain bagels, mini yogurts, mini muffins, half the fruit they had the morning prior and coffee. There were no drink options for non-coffee drinkers or young children, nor were there a lot of non-bread options for non-gluten eaters. One of the families that was getting breakfast at the same time we were had asked if they could get some milk for their small children & were told it would be an extra charge to their room. I know it might sound whinny to be a little judgmental of the breakfast offering, but some people like to book hotels specifically for the included breakfast to help cut down on travel cost when traveling with their families. In a way the hotel felt like more of a spot to stay if you are traveling on business or just in town to see family verses being more family friendly for those visiting Universal, Disney, etc. Based off of other reviews the cleanliness of the hotel room can vary from room to room and time of the year. Thankfully our room seemed quite clean upon arrival the only thing that seemed to lack a cleaning was the small patio attached to the room. read more

We loved our stay here at Hotel Amarano! First off, the friendliness here is unmatched. In today's crazy society having people be genuinely nice made for a welcome visit. A highlight has to be how staff handled some very entitled guests who were way out of line. But the staff treated them with kindness and helped them out and I appreciate their willingness to put up with those guests. Second, the food was excellent, definitely a delicious breakfast along with the food served here. The pool and hot tub were much better than a lot of hotels have, and it was great because (mostly) there weren't any kids around. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Los Angeles. read more

We had a great time there! The place was beautiful and service was excellent along with the food and drinks.

Made the lobby at the Hotel Amarano my office for a few hours and it was perfect! It's located in the heart of Burbank near several Hollywood studios and LA hot spots. Walking in I was greeted by a concierge who was so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable of the area. They have both an indoor and outdoor workspace in the lobby with plenty of room. I opted to stay indoors as it was a beautifully sunny July day. Everything was very clean, modern, and the vibe is chill but still upscale. There is a bar and kitchen called the "FYC" aka For Your Consideration- how cute and perfectly themed is that?! Buuuut it's closed on Tuesdays until 5pm so I didn't get to try it out. There is free street parking that I easily found right around the corner. Totally recommend! read more

Unfortunately this will be one and only stay at the Amarano. I walked into my room and found this disgusting mess today. The smell was horrific. They moved me to another room and I haven't heard a word from management. Not even a I'm sorry for the inconvenience. read more

Hotel Amarano Burbank-Hollywood - The sink in my room - Hotels Near Me - Burbank, California

The bar at the Hotel Amarano in Burbank has been a favorite of mine since before 2015. Late night stop by for night owls who live nearby and work in the industry. The bar-keeps can chat up a storm while major celebrities waltz by, unaware of my own celebrity status. It is an easy stop by on the way home to watch a replay or just sit and reflect on days-gone-by in Hollywood that shined, as does this little hidden, and great watering hole. Reminds me of old Riverside Drive's studio cantina elite hangouts. Don't disturb the local wildlife while enjoying the menu and libations. Thank you to Amarano, Norman & Harvey for being a constant in a world of unwelcome change. read more

Horrible! It was loud and they charge undisclosed fees I don't recommend and the room had no bathtub!

I arrived at 830 pm. I asked the front desk clerk for a room that was not facing the street. What did she give me? A room facing the street #247. I went back down to the front desk, asked them to relocate me and I ended up in room #217. It was not the cleanest room I have ever seen. The shower had mold in the corner and the carpet was dusty and had crumbs etc. Overall the room was tired and needs a refresh. The view was the worst ever. There's an apartment building immediately adjacent and seemed to be about 8 feet away. When I arrived and opened the curtain I could see right into someone's apartment so I kept the curtains closed. The bar closed at 10pm on a Friday night even though there were quite a few people in the bar/lounge area. I used to really like staying there but don't think I will be back. read more

I've been back to Hotel Amarano a couple of times and I love it a little more each visit. Love the vibe. The employees are always nice. The rooms are each a little different and with their own little quirks that for me doesn't detract at all. Americans have gotten so accustomed to uniformity of experience that "boutique" is just confusing. I'll take interesting and cute over predictable any day of the week. I can't imagine any reason to stay anywhere else if I'm forced to be in Burbank! read more

I recently stayed here for a long weekend with my family. Reviews online are pretty high so we were really looking forward to our stay here. The one positive star about this hotel is its location. The hotel itself felt under whelming. The room was dirty: carpet had crumbs and other debris throughout the room, tables had crumbs and dust; and corners of the walls had cobwebs. We had to ask several times for the room to be cleaned. The pool area is small and when we went there were no fresh clean towels, all the chairs had old wet towels still sitting on them with plates of old food orders still sitting out on the tables too. It didn't appear like that area was being managed at all. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a "vacation" feel experience. read more

While we have enjoyed our stays at Hotel Amarano, we can no longer book there. We have stayed numerous times prior to Covid and the change in ownership. We stayed in Feb. 2025 and had a problem with them over billing on the package we booked. We booked the "Stay Longer and Save" package that included parking and the resort fee ($70./day). Upon check out we were charged for parking. It took 2 phone calls to straighten out. When we checked in for our June stay I had booked the same package and clarified at check in that we would not be charged for either. When we checked out, both were charged to us. A approx.$1300 stay became a $1700 stay. After about 15 minutes they corrected this and we checked out. About 2 weeks later when checking my credit card statement I saw we were charged 3 times after we checked out for a total of $534. I called and was told I would get a call back within the hour. After 3 hours I called back and after some discussion was able to get $334. refunded and was told I would have to call my credit card company to have a $200. charge removed. I asked to have the General Manager call me back and I have not heard back after 2 weeks. The credit card took care of the final $200. charge. Amazing - No call or email that they were charging my card, no call back from the Mgr. We were going to book a 10 day stay in Sept, but now are going elsewhere. we stay in Burbank 4-5 times a year, staying 5-10 days each time. Their loss read more

The service makes up for the disparities - when we got into the room it smelled like blue cheese, there were cobwebs, poop looking stains on the rug, and a mosquito. I would have expected the linens to be a little nicer for a four star hotel. Check in was great - we were walk ins, the man working valet was really sweet, and the front desk guy was great as well. When we called down for a toothbrush, someone came up with it instantly. Also giving the hotel four stars because the drinks at the bar were great and so was the coconut shrimp. read more

I would not recommend staying at Hotel Amarano. We are locals and booked one night because we wanted a relaxing staycation. Instead, we had a sleepless night due to thumping noises throughout the entire night that sounded like someone dropping heavy boxes above us. The bedding was uncomfortable and scratchy and did not adequately cover two people. At breakfast, there were adults and children without masks coughing and touching everything on the buffet. I would have provided this feedback at check-out but we were not asked how our stay was. It's disappointing because we live very close to the hotel and had wanted to treat ourselves. When we pass by it on the outside, it looks like a luxurious and relaxing hotel. We did enjoy the decor as well as having the pool and hot tub to ourselves the night before. However, this was not enough to make up for lack of sleep and lack of safety. I wish I had saved the money and just slept at home. We would not return and I would discourage anyone who visits us from staying here. read more

1. Customer service was amazing. Bartender and waiters really give a great vibe to the hotel. The check in staff were kind enough to have given me a toothbrush and paste as I had left mine at home. 2. The hotel bar was stocked with a smaller selection of alchol but the drinks they make and have on their menu are great. 3. The food at the hotel bar is amazing we had the new york and shrimp broccoli gnocchi pasta. I prefer my food over salted so I had to ask for salt but I don't expect them to cater to my taste. The tuna tartar is amazing as long as you put the lemon on it. Their continental breakfast in the morning is really nice. All the guests come and grab a coffee bagel and sit down to eat 4. The hotel room was clean. We do individually check for unwanted pests and couldn't find any. The towels comforter and pillows are all right. I prefer a stiffer pillow but these were so big you could bunch it together. Bathroom and shower were clean. 5. The hotels decor and overall vibe is hollywood glam. They did a really good job of designing the lobby and restaurant/bar area to that taste. The parking is vallet only fitting the vibe. read more

Hotel Amarano Burbank-Hollywood - Horse - Hotels Near Me - Burbank, California

Found this little gem as I searched for a private room to host my husband's 50th birthday dinner. From start to finish working with their Sales Manager Laurie was truly amazing! She was attentive to every detail I envisioned, and she went over and beyond to make sure hubby's birthday evening went as planned & it was perfect! Our guests of about 20 people enjoyed themselves very much. The food and appetizers they catered for the dinner party were delicious. We also booked The Chairman Suite for the night. So being able to spend time with our loved ones after dinner was special indeed. Hubby and I ended up booking a second night's stay in a junior suite because we didn't want to leave this fabulous place. All of their staff are friendly, helpful, and treat guests with care. Special thanks again to Laurie, Ali, Libby, their wonderful bartenders and valet attendant who made us feel very special and took good care of us during our stay. I highly recommend this unique hotel - you will not be disappointed. Whether it be for a stay or to host a special event you will be so glad you did. We can't wait to go back to enjoy their specialty cocktails and tasty menu - their tuna tartare was AMAZING! We will definitely go back for a staycation and will even host another event. Thanks Hotel Amarano for the beautiful memories! read more

Amazing hotel! Sergio at front desk is very nice and always been very helpful with anything we need. Highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel Admin - There was an additional amount added to the overall price ($10 increase for the amenity fee) even though the hotel confirmation email sent the day prior said the price was $25 for the amenity fee. Staff honored the amount on the original email the day of check-in. However, a random charge of $10 was charged to the credit card on file. Additionally, upon check-out, the amenity fee showed as $35 vs the honored $25 amount. This was very frustrating that the card was charged randomly and the $35 still appeared at the time of check-out. Cleanliness - The hotel appeared very clean and staff/hotel guests were following safety measures (wearing masks) when in the public areas. The room was pretty clean; however, there was mold in the grout lines in the bathroom and there were several cut outs in the ceiling within the bathroom. The room was overall pretty clean but the mold on the walls made it worrisome about cleaning tactics. Comfort - The amenity fees covered access to a gym, pool and valet parking. It was awesome having valet parking and spots to unload/load the car without having to worry about parking on the local street. (The parking garage is located under the hotel which made it feel safe.) The bed was comfortable but the blanket was very thin. There were two king pillows, a sheet and a thin blanket on the bed. This was frustrating as the room was warmish but there were no additional blankets to bundle up with. The air flow was adequate but not very powerful. The closet space in the room was very convenience with a large suitcase and hangars to hang clothes, coats, etc. The room offered a mini fridge and microwave which was nice to store snack/heat up food during the stay. Location - The hotel is located next to a local street and a shopping center was across the street; the freeway was less than a block away. It was convenient to walk to the shopping center to grab coffee at Starbucks, food from a local restaurant and snacks from the grocery store without having to leave in a vehicle. While sleeping, cars can be heard frequently and this location is not quiet as there is traffic/street car noise. Price - The price was a bit steep but reasonable due to the large room, amenities and location near Universal Studios (the purpose of the trip). read more

Great lounge bar. Incredible drinks, good food and personable bartenders. Can't wait to go back.

Hands down, this beautiful 4 star boutique hotel is, by far, the best hotel in the Valley and the surrounding LA area, and surprisingly reasonable for what you get. This hotel checks all the boxes - wonderful staff, lovely amenities, cool bar/restaurant, nice safe area, great location just down the street from the freeway, walkable to Toluca Lake and grocery store/restaurants, and just so hip and cool, yet not even a little bit snobby. It is a very special place. The employees are beyond compare and are so lovely, from the valet to the front desk staff. Elegant, swanky, cool large rooms, very clean, full power AC, in-room safe, magnifying mirror, high quality shampoo, soaps, and lotions, large TV, awesome in-room Lavazza espresso machine, refrigerator (some rooms with microwave), complimentary continental breakfast bar, serene patio eating area and restaurant/bar, beautiful pool/ jacuzzi/lounging area, and gym with complimentary bottles of water and apples. The following are some helpful notes to be sure your stay is as wonderful as mine: there is no clock, pen/paper, shower cap, robe, or slippers in the room, so just be prepared to bring any of that with you if it's important. Also, there is a $40 daily amenity fee but that's par for the course, people; it's pretty rare to find a hotel without an amenity fee these days, especially in L.A. There is no self-parking but, other than tipping the guys, valet parking is covered in the amenity fee (otherwise, there is free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood, which felt very safe). If you are an out-of-towner visiting this area, here on business at the nearby studios, looking for a relaxing staycation, or needing a long-term stay (like me), this is absolutely the place to stay, no question. read more

We've stayed at the Hilton and Sheraton, but wasn't impressed. But Hotel Amarano was awesome! The $40 amenity included valet and continental breakfast, which beats the $100-$120 per day for other hotels that don't include valet nor breakfast. The room was clean and nicely decorated, we even did a cute photoshoot in our room . Perfect location right by Warner Brothers and down the hill from Universal Studios. The valet guys were awesome, everyone was very friendly. Many places to eat that are in walking distance, and in a safe neighborhood. read more

Really nice hotel. Great location plenty of street parking in a safe neighborhood so you can avoid their valet only parking. They let us check in early which was awesome and they were nice enough to wave the check in early fee. The room was clean and very spacious. I didn't get to try the restaurant at the hotel but there are many great options within walking distance. My only complaint was that the hot tub was lukewarm warm at best. read more

This boutique hotel has the glamour and spirit of Old Hollywood, the decor blends between vintage and modern. Food and drinks were on par! Ask Norm the bartender for the secret drink!

Oh and most importantly.. the espresso machine was the cherry on top to our one night stay! We will definitely be back. read more

As a travel agent I love selling my clients on staying at boutique hotels. This hotel did not disappoint. I loved the ambiance from the minute I stepped in. The staff was superb. I picked a pool room view but wish I would have done the balcony room. The decor was cute and transported you back to old Hollywood. Giving it's lose proximity to Warner Bros and Disney Studios , it was perfect. The shower was amazing. There were lots of eating options in the surrounding area. The hotel bar was awesome and I can't stop thinking about that spicy passionfruit Paloma. It paired well with the shrimp cocktail although it did need just a little more kick. The bartender was prepared and handed me a couple tiny bottles of Tabasco which did the trick. Do yourself a favor and try this boutique hotel if you are staying in the Burbank area. read more
