Holiday Party Venue in Los Angeles
The Hill is 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space in the Hollywood Hills, built to handle holiday parties at every scale. Corporate groups get dedicated holiday catering packages with a premium hosted bar and full dinner service. Private groups get custom menus and flexible venue options. Both get a property that looks and feels nothing like a standard event rental.
What Makes The Hill Work for Holiday Parties
The setting does the decorating for you. Hollywood Hills backdrop, outdoor terraces, poolside areas, and indoor venues with built-in atmosphere. Most holiday parties need to manufacture a vibe with décor and lighting. Here, the property carries that weight on its own.
Universal Studios is right across the street. Group outings, team activities, after-party options. For corporate events, it turns a standard holiday dinner into something your employees will actually talk about. For private parties, it gives guests something to do before the main event even starts.
Multiple connected spaces on one property. Cocktails on a terrace, dinner inside, late-night drinks somewhere else entirely. The evening moves naturally across venues without anyone needing directions or transportation.
No one fights traffic or parking. Three-level garage with valet available, located off the 101 in Universal City. Accessible from the Valley, the Westside, and Hollywood without touching downtown. Out-of-town guests fly into Burbank and they're here in minutes.
Food and Drinks
For corporate holiday parties, we offer dedicated celebration packages that bundle a 3-hour premium hosted bar, tray-passed hors d'oeuvres, and full dinner service into a single per-person rate. Two formats: a grand buffet anchored by a prime rib carving station, or an elegant three-course plated dinner. Both are designed to handle large headcounts without sacrificing quality.

For private celebrations, our culinary team builds custom menus around your group size, format, and preferences. Seated dinners, cocktail receptions, food stations, or a combination. Bar packages range from beer and wine to full premium open bar. Talk to our events team about what you're envisioning and we'll put together a proposal.
Entertainment and the Rest of the Night
The part most venues can't solve is what happens after everyone finishes eating.
Sound and stage ready. Built-in audio systems, stage space, professional lighting, and mic setups across our larger venues. Bring your own DJ or band, or ask us for referrals.
Dance floors that don't require an hour of teardown. Several venues convert from dinner configuration to open floor without a major reset. The transition happens while your guests are still at the bar.
Outdoor space, even in December. LA in December averages 68 degrees. Terraces and poolside areas stay in play for cocktail hours, lounge setups, and late-night wind-downs that would be impossible in most cities.
Venue Options by Group Size
50 to 150 guests. Departmental celebrations, executive dinners, private friend and family gatherings. Smaller venues with cocktail or seated layouts that keep the room energized without feeling cramped.
150 to 500 guests. The range where most company-wide holiday parties land. Combined indoor-outdoor configurations with room for dinner seating, a dance floor, dedicated bar stations, and breakout lounge areas.
500 to 1,200 guests. The Grand Ballroom handles full production at this scale: staging, professional lighting, catering for the full headcount, and pre-function areas that manage arrivals smoothly.
Over 30 bookable spaces across the property. Our events team matches you to the right one based on headcount, format, and how you want the evening to flow.
