Hotels in Burbank

The full service, 485 room/suite Holiday Inn Burbank-Media Center rises 20 storeys above central Burbank and the I-5 corridor, within a short walk of many restaurants and shops including the outlets at Burbank Town Center Mall (0.3 miles northwest). Burbank Metrolink Station is also just a few blocks away, allowing easy travel to central Los Angeles and beyond. The hotel is fairly old but well managed and maintained; its main facilities are a restaurant (room service available), an outdoor pool surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, a games room, gift shop, sauna, complimentary shuttle to Burbank Airport, and facilities for meetings, conferences & events. Parking is free.

On the border between Studio City, Burbank and North Hollywood, the Holiday Inn Express is near to many northern Los Angeles attractions, closest being Universal Studios just half a mile away, with the Burbank Media Center a couple of miles further. The place is small (43 rooms), but very clean, well managed and quiet, despite the proximity to US 101 which runs past close by. Good quality free continental breakfast is served, and there are a few restaurants within walking distance along the main road (Cahuenga Blvd). The hotel also offers a small indoor pool, guest laundry and a business center.

Amongst the most luxurious hotels in Burbank, the Marriott was renovated late 2008 and now offers 488 stylish, contemporary guest rooms & suites equipped with high quality furnishings and modern amenities. Guests enter through a grand, colorful lobby, which links to such facilities as a restaurant/bar (serving breakfast, lunch & dinner), a gift shop, fitness center, business center, and the conference center - 22 meeting rooms, 46,000 sq ft of space and a largest single capacity of 1,900. Outdoor activities center on the two rooftop pools, complete with cabanas and fire pits. The hotel operates a free shuttle to Burbank Airport, though as this is just 0.3 miles away on the far side of Hollywood Way, some might choose to walk.

The Courtyard is a north Burbank hotel, 1.5 miles from Bob Hope Airport, one block from interstate 5 (exit 147), and adjacent to the huge Empire Center which contains many restaurants and large stores. Half the 190 recently refurbished rooms look out over the familiar courtyard garden & outdoor pool at the rear of the property; all have views over the busy commercial neighborhood, along Empire Avenue - 2.7 miles north of the Burbank Media Center. Parking and internet access are both free, while other facilities at the 4 storey hotel include the Gazebo Grille restaurant (open for breakfast & dinner), a hot tub, exercise room and 1,622 sq ft of meetings/event space.

Residence Inn by Marriott is the top choice for extended stay or all-suite accommodation in Burbank, offering 166 spacious rooms containing a full kitchen, large work desk, sofa bed and LCD TV - part of a handsome, five storey building in the downtown area along S 1st St, adjacent to interstate 5. Burbank Town Center Mall is 4 blocks north, while Disney Studios and the Media Center are 1.8 miles south. The hotel provides free breakfast buffet every day and a free reception on weekday evenings; for other meals there are many restaurants a short walk away.

Reasonable rates and an easily-reached location are the main attributes of Quality Inn Burbank, a 58 room, exterior corridor motel at 2255 N Buena Vista St, on the north side of Burbank right next to exit 148 of I-5. The neighborhood is mostly residential though there is one restaurant right next door, and others (plus a few small shops), a short walk away. Some rooms are available with microwave, refrigerator, and separate sleeping/living areas. The hotel also has the usual three amenities of free continental breakfast, an outdoor pool and a hot tub.
