Wonderful boutique hotel located in Burbank. Beautiful large rooms and great facilities including fitness room, pool and hot tub. Hotel is across road from several stores where you can grab a bite or coffee. Really close to the Burbank airport and less than than 10min from downtown Burbank. Concierge only parking which is expensive but there is plenty of free public parking in the area. Highly recommended.

I just completed a business trip to Burbank. The Hotel Amarano didn't disappoint. It fits right into the local neighborhood and if you want a quiet, classy space to call your home for a few days, this is nice choice. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The room was classy and fairly luxurious. Amenities were above average. The fitness room was decently equipped and the pool area lovely. The staff very helpful, the location ideal and the price through Expedia with a rental car was quite good. I was pleasantly surprised and will consider staying here again when in the area.

The hotel is convenient to Universal Studios. Our room was clean and spacious with a balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food at the bar was surprisingly high quality, and the bartender was great. Free WiFi and welcome drink.

I am staying at the Hotel Amarano for 11 days for work and so far I must say I am loving it. The staff has been very friendly and welcoming, the rooms are gorgeous and clean, I absolutely love the walk in shower with the glass doors. The room service is amazing as well. I highly suggest the French Dip and the Creme Brulee!!

Good rooms, nice service. Minus two stars for ridiculously expensive parking - 45$/24h and separate "no opt out" 20$/day amenities pack. All written on website but in so fine print you need a magnifying glass and skills of a detective to find it...

We visited a family member who was staying at the Hotel Amarano. The room was very clean and cozy. Everything looked very elegant. The lobby was very spacious and inviting. The only down side is that there is no self parking, so we had to find a spot on the street to park.

I was here with for a quick get-away with my niece and nephew. I did not want to be in a noisy area and wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. This place delivered. The room we stayed in had two queen or full-sized beds and still felt roomy. I liked the decor and that they offer shuttle services to the airport and to Universal Studios. The staff we met were all very friendly and accommodating. Would dedinitely come back here again. Highly recommend this place.

Good part was the bedroom, it was spacious and very clean (not cheap tho) and the location was awesome. We were wanting to go to universal studios and this hotel is less than 10 min away.
It doesnt have a parking lot so you either can pay valet parking for $40 a night or park on the street at your preference. Also there are some amenities charges for $25 daily that we didnt fully understand why. In general, it was a good experience.

Great gem in Burbank. Modern well-appointed rooms. Small, but elegant pool area with cabanas. Fitness center was likewise small, but had good equipment. Food at the Library Lounge had huge portions. Friendly bartender and valet attendant were super helpful. Vons supermarket is conveniently located across the street and is open 24 hours. Would definitely stay again.

Both times I've stayed here was for work, but I've had a great stay every time. Rooms are clean and stylish. Not too big. Just right. It's also located in a convenient place (at least for my work) and there are many great restaurants within a10 - 15min drive away. I highly recommend it!

I've always enjoyed staying here, the staff is great, but lately it seems to me that the hotel is trying to find more and more clever ways to add charges to your bill. On my latest stay, I saw a daily charge of $20, which they call an "Amenity Fee." When I called to ask about this, I was told this covers things like your "free" newspaper, coffee and tea, etc. Of course this fee is never mentioned when you book the reservation. Oh, and of course there's also a "tax" on the daily amenity fee as well. This is on top of the daily "CA Tourism Tax," the "Burbank Tourism Tax," the "Occupancy Tax," and let's not forget the $35.99 for parking, and tax on that, another $4.32. Time to start looking into airbnb.

Carpets were very dirty and the curtains had some brown stains on them. Also the front door would move and squeak every time the room next to us would open or close their door (which was often). The front desk personnel was very nice though.

Nice rooms, comfy bed, fun room service, though know that food may come cold if you use their breakfast card. Go across the street to Bebe for breakfast. It's good and less expensive. Also the rooms have microwaves, which is awesome for a hotel.

Our room was comfortable and small. Not sure why $20 daily amenity fee and $35 daily parking fee is reasonable, especially when 12% tax and expected tips are added and neighborhood is ordinary.

This place was nice, but very expensive. Got to hotel a little early they said that they were going to upgraded our room but actually was downgraded from 2 beds to 1bed and a pullout couch . Drank 1 mini bottle and 3cokes= $37.00 and a extra$20 a day resort fee for pool/hot tub(hot tub was not working) and last but not least the $35.00a day for valet parking(only option) We had a good time and that's all that matters.

Paid ekstra for a room with pool view.
The only way you could see the corner of the pool was if you walked out on the balkon and looked for it. Otherwise okay hotel.. A little expensive in my opinion in comparison to what you get.

Described as a boutique hotel, I agree it is the right descriptor. It is centrally located in Burbank and close to Warner Bros and other tv and film studios. It's style is quietly understated and has a more "personal" feel to it than larger hotels like the Sheraton or Hilton style. Service was good, rooms very acceptable and the general ambience was most agreeable. Will stay again on next LA visit.

Hotel was nice and clean and in a nice neighborhood. Beds were very comfortable. Room was nothing spectacular, just a normal room. We were planning on using the shuttle service for local trips we were making. However, every time we asked, it appeared we were bothering them. We did use it once for a trip to universal, and he informed us in no uncertain terms he would not be coming back to get us, we were on our own for a ride back. A couple other times I asked for shuttle service for something within the 3 mile radius, and they refused, stating they didn't' have time, or some other excuse, all they were doing was standing at the front entrance talking. Its obvious they do not like doing the shuttles. Our room key stopped working on several occasions and we could not get into our room. Once we stopped housekeeping and asked if she could let us in our room, she opened the door right up for us with out even checking if we actually belonged in that room. Pool is OK, stays in the shade for most of the day. If you get a super good price on this hotel, I would say go for it, if not, I would stay somewhere else.

It wasn't bad here. It was pretty comfy. Main issues were that the bath room was a little dirty, and that they will charge you for everything. They have a bunch of amenities, but you probably won't use them all depending on how long you're there. Overall though, it was a good experience

The hotel rooms were fantastic, clean, modern and the bed was really comfy. The only downside was breakfast was not included as was slightly pricey. Brilliant place to stay though and well situated to all amenities

Rooms were clean and well maintained with classy decor. Beds were comfortable. Staff was pleasant and professional. Not sure why there is a balcony door with no balcony (rail) but the cool fresh breeze flowing in was relieving. We would definitely come again and recommend to friends and family.

Our stay was very comfortable on a whole. We were in LA visiting my brother and his family. We enjoyed the use of the pool with my niece and nephew very much. Also, the quality of the room service food was excellent.

The only negative experience was there was an overwhelming chemical smell in the hot tub. I myself have a swimming pool and hot tub in my backyard and have never experienced the severity of the smell we were exposed to. After leaving the pool area and even after showering, the strong smell stayed with me for hours. It was like it was stuck in my lungs. I let a manager know about the experience and he said he would take care of it. We left soon after, so I don't know if it was resolved.

Overall, my experience was more positive than negative. This was my second stay at Amarano and I will most likely return in the future. Hopefully the hot tub issue will then be fixed.

Nice place to stay. Sheets are to die for! You are greeted with complementary drink card at the bar. Upon pulling up vallet was kind enough to let us know that there is plenty of street parking, so there is no need to pay extra for the parking. Pretty high resort fee thou...

Be aware that there is a $35 per night charge to park and a $20 per night mandatory "resort fee", so what you book it at will not be what you end up paying. There's no self parking so it's all valet parking. Other than that, the hotel seems nice.

Great service from Laurie and the entire team. Venue and staff were very flexible with our needs and amenable to the unique nature of our request for a relatively small (~25 people) professional group. Library lounge next door was perfect for our post-meeting social event. Can't say enough good things about the event. Will definitely be returning to Hotel Amarano for our next meeting. On the whole this event was a very good value, especially for the region, one area for improvement would be on food and beverage prices.

A somewhat decent hotel in the middle of Burbank. Across the street is a great breakfast place. It's hard to get an accommodations in LA proper that don't have that LA smell, like the back of a restaurant. This hotel is no exception. You have to valet park your car. The rooms are somewhat smallish. This is a great place to stay if you're working, but not a place you'd set out to visit. They do the best they can.

Very nice FD clerks (Abby was awesome! Keep smiling!!!) Morning staff in the restaurant, Edward? he was awesome and efficient! Would be amazing if Housekeeping was at par. Notice a lot of dirt/dust built up on the baseboard in the room) on the TV and the floors don't look like they were vacuumed well. Otherwise, because I am on vacation Five stars to all of you!!!!

This is a nice hotel in a quiet area. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and there's a nice little pool area with a hot tub. We opted to forgo the valet parking for street parking since there were spots available on Easter night, although valet parking was reasonable at $35. The location is not bad if you're looking for something not too far from Hollywood and you have a car.

Great staff...All of them! Wonderful bed and sheets. Quiet and comfortable. Great spa and good food. The only real problem is the parking fee being $40! And the steep delivery charge for room service on top of the 20% automatic gratuity for running upstairs. It's not Beverly Hills or Santa Monica. I wish they would reconsider that amount as it came as a shocking surprise! Also a little maintenance in the bathrooms would help. The faucet was not faceted down properly.

I sent my team down to S. CAL for a Quarterly meeting for our office. Courtney did a fabulous job helping us with the registration and logistics. My staff returned today with nothing but awesome things to say about the property and the ENTIRE staff. Everyone was offering to help. Congratulations to having such a wonderful team. Working with Laurie via email/phone was so easy to set up the meeting from N. CA. The team reported back which included our CEO makes my decision easier when I need to plan the next meeting in S. CAL.

Very nice hotel with great customer service. The only issue I had was we were in a suite with 3 people. They had one bed and a pull-out bed couch that I got to sleep on. It was comfy, but the gentleman who made the bed and set up the bedding only gave me two thin white sheets to use as blankets. I woke up all throughout the night freezing. I maybe got 2-3 hours of sleep that night. That was the only downfall.

Really nice hotel, in an amazing location (literally 2 minutes from warner brothers) and pretty central to everything else. (Only downfalls; you cannot park your own car, valet only and it's $35 per day...which after a 6 day stay, was really expensive) Abby our coneirge was awesome! Room service could be better, but they are efficient. Good experience,
Good hotel, would stay again.

On our trip along the US west coast we searched for a cheap and good hotel in the area of Los Angeles. During this search we found the Tangerine hotel in Burbank north of the Hollywood Hills and this was really a good choice

True what they say about good things coming in small packages. This is a lovely boutique hotel. Nice pool, good size rooms and excellent service. Very handy for the WB lot. Nice bar area to grab a couple of drinks at the bar or sit down and get something to eat. I've stayed in larger hotels nearby but much prefer the intimacy of the Amarano.

The atmosphere, service and accommodations were fantastic. We had our out of town wedding guest stay at the hotel and all were so impressed.
The food at our rehearsal Dinner and breakfasts were awesome.
The sales manager Laurie Dew was fantastic and focused on the detail and premium accommodations.

A great boutique hotel very conveniently located near transportation and all my other needs. The amenities are all here and were clean and inviting. The food was great ( I ate here often for all 3 meals) and the staff was exemplary. I hurt myself during my stay and asked if someone could purchase a heating pad for me. The staff was on it immediately and was most helpful.

I would definitely stay here when I'm back in the area.

Laurie was over the top amazing ever step of the way!!! She helped create and make our daughters Sweet 16 party so successful and wonderful.

When I arrived to set up my decorations for our event 45 minutes later then I wanted (I was completely stressed and overwhelmed) Laurie and our server were waiting for me upon my arrival with open arms and ready to jump in to make magic quickly happen. All of the food was fantastically delicious! Our server was amazing and constantly on top of everything and was very in tune to our needs. The space was perfect for our needs and the room was perfect for the small dance floor that my daughter wanted.The patio was perfect and comfortable when the guests wanted to rest outside and get some fresh air. Harvey the bartender was wonderful, friendly and so sweet and took great care of us when my husband and I wanted to enjoy a couple of adult beverages.

Thank you to all of the staff for helping to make our party a special and memorable one. You are all so awesome and we hope that we have an occasion in the near future that will require your space.
