Renaissance Hollywood Hotel - Hollywood is located off Highway 101 near the Highland Avenue exit. Talk about location. This hotel is just off 'The Strip' with Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and so much more within walking distance. Trust us, if you plan on exploring Hollywood, you don't want to pay the high parking fees (if you find an available lot) or drive in this traffic if you're not used to it, because this region is notorious for the worst traffic congestion in L.A. The Renaissance is a perfect hub for venturing out into the 'Hollywood Scene' while avoiding these hassles. The hotel is tastefully decorated in a modern theme and offers a restaurant and an outdoor roof-top pool.
