City Guide

Welcome to Hollywood ~ the Entertainment Capital of the World!

There's never a lack of things to do in Hollywood, and the Rodeway Inn Hollywood has a center stage location! Begin your tour at the Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards, only half mile away. The famed corner of Hollywood and Vine is only .6 mile to the east. Entertainment venues such as the Pantages Theatre, the Hollywood Palladium and the Hollywood Bowl are a short mile away in either direction.

If your itinerary includes a studio visit (or two), Paramount Studios is just 2 miles to the south, while the fun of Universal Studios Theme Park is a short 3 1/2 miles away - a trip made even easier by taking the Metro Red Line. The station is a short 1/2 mile jaunt, at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, not far from Capitol Records and Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Combine a little of traditional Hollywood with culture and history by heading south on Highland Avenue to Beverly Blvd. Make a right and 1 mile to your left will be CBS Television City, site of famed TV variety shows of bygone days and present home to several CBS soaps. You can obtain free tickets onlne to several current shows, from the long-running "The Price is Right" to the "Late Late Show."

Next to the Television City complex is The Grove, a great place to spend an afternoon of shopping, dining or catching a movie. Travel south down Fairfax Avenue to 3rd street and find the historic Farmers Market, still a fun place to hang out after 70 years in the same location. Continue further south down Fairfax to Wilshire Blvd, where you'll come to the Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA) and the world famous LA Tar Pits.
