Located in the heart of Hollywood, the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel is the cornerstone of the $567 million Hollywood & Highland retail/entertainment complex. Featuring a mid-century decor inspired by the L.A. residential architecture of the 1950s, the hotel has 640 guest rooms, 25 meeting rooms, an Executive Floor, and a 50,000 square foot conference space.

The Ballroom design was inspired by the 1929 Bullock's Wilshire "Perfume Salon” and features sweeping outdoor balconies overlooking Hollywood Boulevard, floor-to-ceiling windows, and advanced light and sound rigging for live broadcasts. The Hotel is part of the complex that includes the Kodak Theatre, home to the annual Academy Awards® ceremonies.
