 Property Description

Overview

Receive a warm, red carpet welcome at the Sheraton Universal Hotel, a landmark in Universal City. Known as the “Hotel of the Stars" and transformed by a $30 million renovation in 2008, our hotel unveils an artistic wonder that blends four-star service with nostalgic design elements from the golden age of film: the 1920's through the 1940's. Guests will revel in the newly renovated rooms and amenities while they enjoy daily service rituals that will reassure them of their star status.

Stroll over to Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and downtown Los Angeles. Let the good times linger late into the night as you catch up with friends over tropical drinks at "In the Mix". Take a refreshing dip in our heated outdoor swimming pool and whirlpool. To explore Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Citywalk hop on the park’s complimentary tram.

Our 451 renovated guest rooms allow you to enjoy amazing views of Universal Studios and the Hollywood hills, with all the comforts of home right at your fingertips. If you’re visiting for business stay connected with Wireless High Speed Internet Access in each room, as well as at the Link@Sheraton experienced with Microsoft.

You’ll feel like a star at Sheraton Universal Hotel, where every comfort is extended and every desire indulged.

Guest Rooms

Every guest room at our hotel promises one thing: serenity. Our calm yet bold color palate of blues, browns and ivories is complemented by rich fabrics and artwork. Sink into your Sheraton Sweet Sleeper (SM) bed and enjoy amenities such as Starbucks 1-cup service, bottled water, Shine by Bliss bath products, a 32” LCD television, iHome iPod docking station/clock radio and wireless Internet throughout the hotel. Specialty suites include a full Presidential, as well as a Shrek-themed utopia.

Located on preferred floors, Sheraton Club guest rooms offer upgraded amenities, free bottled water, and complimentary fitness center access. Club guests also have special access to the Club Lounge. A relaxing, upscale space, the Club Lounge offers complimentary breakfast, afternoon hors d’oeuvres and a variety of beverage options. Take advantage of the private Club Lounge where you can connect with friends, meet with your team, or simply relax by catching your favorite TV show. Need to get some work done? A copier/fax/printer and complimentary office supplies are ready to go.

After a day of friends, family, or business, there is one more thing to savor at this Sheraton: the welcome of our guest rooms, which are completely smoke-free.

Dining

From the laid back atmosphere of the Baja Beach Club to the refreshing breakfasts, hearty lunches and delectable dinners of California’s, our signature restaurant, we offer diverse and delicious dining options. You can also sit back, sip on your favorite beverage, and grab a light snack in our Lobby Lounge.
