The Hill is aprivate event venue in the Hollywood Hills with a hotel, a heated pool, restaurants, private indoor and outdoor event spaces, and Universal Studios Hollywood directly across the street. Everything a family reunion needs is on one property or within walking distance of it.
Why Host Your Family Reunion Here
A hotel on-site. The Hill features a 24-story hotel on the property with nearly 500 rooms. Standard rooms are about 376 sq ft with a king bed or two doubles. Corner rooms add a sofa bed and panoramic views. Views depend on the side of the building: some rooms face Universal Studios and CityWalk, others look out over the Hollywood Hills or the San Fernando Valley.
Restaurants on property. A full-service restaurant is located on-site with a menu built around king crab, lobster, sushi, oysters, shrimp, and scallops. Luckman Bar is open for cocktails and drinks throughout the day and evening. Coffee Corner handles mornings with cappuccinos, lattes, paninis, and pastries.
Private event spaces. If you want a dedicated room for a reunion dinner, a welcome reception, or a Sunday send-off brunch, indoor event spaces are available for groups of different sizes.
A private outdoor yard. For families who want their reunion dinner outside, there's a gorgeous garden space with mature trees, a koi pond, and views of the Hollywood Hills. Completely private. It works for a seated dinner at sunset or a more casual cocktail-style gathering, and it photographs beautifully.
A heated pool with cabanas. Open to all hotel guests. Shallow entry for young kids, floaties and pool gear to rent, a turf deck with giant chess, Connect 4, and ping pong. Lounge chairs, daybeds, and private cabanas with shade. Full bar and food service poolside.
Universal Studios Across the Street
Universal Studios Hollywood is directly across the street from The Hill. The whole family walks over in just 8 minutes.
Super Nintendo World for the kids. The Studio Tour for the grandparents, it's a seated tram ride through the working backlot and one of the most accessible attractions in the park. The new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster for anyone who wants a thrill. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for everyone in between.
A day at the park gives the family a shared experience that becomes part of the reunion story for years. And CityWalk is free to walk through: restaurants, shops, and live music in the evening for family members who skip the park.
