LA hotel near the Greek Theater

Question

Can anyone recommend a clean hotel that is convenient to the Greek Theater? We will be using Uber and Lyft. I am leaning towards the Hampton Inn in Glendale but would like to know if there is another area that is more convenient.

Answer

The Greek Theatre is located in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, so the closest neighborhoods for convenience are Glendale, Los Feliz, and Burbank. Since you’re using Uber or Lyft, you don’t need to be within walking distance, but staying nearby can make pick-up/drop-off easier and save some time in traffic.

Hampton Inn Glendale is a solid choice: clean, reliable, and about a 10-15 minute drive to the Greek Theatre depending on traffic. Glendale also has restaurants and shopping nearby if you want to spend some time before or after the show.

Other good areas and hotels to consider:

Los Feliz / Hollywood Hills: These neighborhoods are very close to the Greek Theatre and have a charming, more residential feel with boutique hotels. Traffic may be lighter if you’re heading to the venue from here.
- For example, the Loews Hollywood is slightly farther but upscale and convenient if you plan to combine sightseeing.
- Smaller boutique options in Los Feliz provide a more intimate vibe.
Burbank: About 15 minutes north of the Greek Theatre. Burbank has several chain hotels, good dining options, and easy freeway access.
- Marriott Burbank Airport or the Hilton Garden Inn Burbank are clean, mid-range options.
Glendale: Besides Hampton Inn, consider:
- Residence Inn by Marriott Glendale
- Hilton Los Angeles North/Glendale
- These have pools, breakfast, and are good for families or longer stays.

Tips for your stay:

Uber/Lyft can get busy after concerts, so plan your ride in advance and check estimated times. Often, leaving slightly earlier or later than show end reduces wait.
Check if your hotel offers shuttle service to the Greek Theatre — some do during events.
Parking at the Greek Theatre is limited; if you wanted to drive, arriving early is recommended.
If you want a combination of sightseeing and concert, Hollywood/Los Feliz is fun, Glendale is convenient for a quieter stay.

In short, Hampton Inn Glendale is convenient and reliable, but if you want something closer to the Greek Theatre with a more local feel, Los Feliz boutique hotels are a good alternative. Burbank works well if you prefer a more suburban chain-hotel experience with easy freeway access.
