About

The Aster

The Aster sits on Vine Street in the heart of Hollywood, roughly 500 metres from the Hollywood Walk of Fame and 1.8 km from The Magic Castle. The hotel is set up for a relaxed stay: a heated outdoor pool, sun loungers and beach umbrellas, plus a sun terrace and garden. The rooftop bar and restaurant serve breakfast, and there's live entertainment in the evenings.

Rooms are generously sized – from the Club Studio to a Two-Bedroom Suite – and furnished with a Hollywood-inspired touch. Each comes with a king-size bed, air conditioning and heating; suites add a balcony, and some rooms include a record player and a well-stocked minibar. The hotel also offers a 24-hour reception, valet parking, laundry and dry cleaning, and a fitness centre with yoga classes.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness rating is moderate — Guests rate this category at 7 out of 10, so while rooms are appreciated, there may be occasional inconsistency in upkeep.
  • Evening night scene — The hotel becomes a lively night spot after 9 pm, which may not suit guests seeking a quiet evening.
  • Price point is high — With rates from £443 per night, this is a premium stay in a competitive market; the 'price and service' rating of 7 suggests value may vary.

“Beautifully renovated rooms with comfortable beds, a great outdoor pool and a lovely rooftop bar. Breakfast options were delicious and the staff attentive. The atmosphere was perfect for our young family to relax and unwind.”

8.7Verified guest

“Loved the city apartment feel of the room – the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen turned out to be a treat I didn't expect to care about but really enjoyed. The Library bar and the food were fantastic. Paying a little extra for a room overlooking Vine Street and the Capitol Records building was worth it; sitting on the balcony watching people at night was fun.”

“Had an awesome group trip! Rooms were spacious with that cool old Hollywood vibe. The Dolby Theatre and the Pantages Theatre are both super close. Staff were helpful and dining options great. Just a heads-up – the place turns into a night scene after 9 pm, which we actually loved.”
