Burbank Hotels: Where to Stay in California
Hotels in Burbank California by area: studios, downtown and airport. Confirmed addresses, phones and amenities, plus which listings to verify first.
Sammie O
Burbank, California, sits in the southeastern San Fernando Valley, about 7 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Warner Bros. Studios, Walt Disney Studios, and Hollywood Burbank Airport all sit inside the city. This guide covers hotels in Burbank California we could confirm, split by area. Our old version of this page listed Brea hotels and called Burbank a suburb of Anaheim. Both claims were wrong, so we removed them. Rates change daily, so we do not quote any.

Hotels in Burbank California: Where to Stay by Area
Table of Contents
Where to Stay in Burbank: Four Areas
Visit Burbank, the official tourism site, lists 18 hotels. They fall into four loose groups. The Media District sits near the studios. Downtown Burbank sits near shops and the Metrolink station. The airport area sits near Hollywood Burbank Airport. The Olive Avenue strip holds the Coast Burbank Hotel and the Safari Inn.
Pick the area first. Then compare two or three hotels near your main stop. A short list of properties works better than a long scroll of search results.
Hotels in Burbank Near Warner Bros. Studio
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood sits at 3400 Warner Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91505. The official site lists several tours, from a three-hour Studio Tour to a six-hour Deluxe Tour. Check the tour site for dates and current closures before you book a room.
The Media District holds the nearest hotels. Three of them are covered in detail below. Best Western Plus Media Center Inn and Suites also sits here, at 3910 West Riverside Drive.
The Tangerine
The Tangerine stands at 3901 West Riverside Drive, Burbank, CA 91505. Call 818-843-1121 or the reservations line at 877-843-1121. Visit Burbank and the hotel site agree on the address and the local phone number.
The hotel site advertises free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a swimming pool. Breakfast runs from 7 am to 11 am, according to the hotel. Visit Burbank says the morning pastries come from Porto’s Bakery, while the hotel site names Homeboy Bakery as its partner. The two sources disagree, so ask the front desk which bakery supplies the pastries now.
Rooms carry original wall murals and contemporary art. The hotel site places the property near Universal Studios Hollywood, Warner Bros. Studios, and Disney Studios. The hotel site gives about 3.5 miles to the airport.
The site does not list check-in or check-out times, and does not mention pets. Call to confirm both.
Hotel Amarano Burbank Hollywood
Hotel Amarano stands at 322 North Pass Avenue, Burbank, CA 91505. Reservations take calls at 818-842-8887. Visit Burbank lists the same address in its hotel directory.
The hotel site lists a pool with daybeds, an on-site restaurant called FYC Bar and Kitchen, room service, free Wi-Fi, and 2,200 square feet of meeting space. The hotel calls itself pet friendly and says valet parking uses an underground garage. The site gives a nightly parking fee, but fees change, so ask at booking.
The site names the hotel an AAA 4-Diamond boutique property in the media district. We did not find check-in times or a shuttle policy. Ask when you call.
Coast Burbank Hotel and Safari Inn
These two sister hotels face each other on West Olive Avenue. Coast Burbank Hotel sits at 2011 West Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91506. Call 818-845-7800 or the reservations line at 800-716-6199. The Safari Inn sits at 1911 West Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91506. Call 818-845-8586.

The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, a free airport shuttle, a sun deck, in-room Starbucks coffee, and robes. Some suites have full kitchens. The hotel runs no pool of its own. Guests use the Safari Inn pool across the street.
The Safari Inn has a heated outdoor pool, a sundeck, free parking, and free Wi-Fi, according to Visit Burbank. The listing also promises a shuttle to the studios and the airport. Wikipedia says the motel appeared in the films Apollo 13 and Coach Carter. Visit Burbank adds True Romance. Fans of film locations often book here for the retro look.
The Coast Burbank site says the hotel stands about one mile from Warner Bros. Studio and about four miles from Universal Studios Hollywood, with free shuttle service to both. Confirm shuttle hours by phone.
Downtown Burbank Hotels
Downtown Burbank suits travelers who want to walk to dinner. The airport website says downtown holds over 600 shops, restaurants, and activities. The city of Burbank also runs a downtown website at dtnbur.com.
Visit Burbank lists these downtown properties. We found only one source for each, so treat the details as unconfirmed.
Hotel Burbank
Hotel Burbank stands at 150 East Angeleno Avenue, Burbank, CA 91502. The Visit Burbank page gives the phone as 818-841-4770 and the website as hotelburbank.com. We could not open the hotel site, so the details below come from one source.
The listing names a heated pool, a fitness center, a business center, a lobby art gallery, an outdoor garden with a koi pond, and Burbank Cafe and Bar. The listing also promises a free shuttle to and from Hollywood Burbank Airport. Parking carries a nightly fee, so ask the price before you arrive.
Hilton Garden Inn, Residence Inn, and SpringHill Suites
Visit Burbank lists Hilton Garden Inn Burbank Downtown at 401 South San Fernando Boulevard. The same list gives Residence Inn Burbank Downtown at 321 Ikea Way and SpringHill Suites Los Angeles Downtown Burbank at 549 San Fernando Boulevard. All three carry a 91502 ZIP code.
Visit Burbank calls the Residence Inn an extended-stay property near downtown shops. The SpringHill Suites is described as boutique style and within walking distance of downtown. We could not confirm amenities, phone numbers, or policies for any of the three. Check each brand site before you book.
Burbank Hotels Near the Airport
Hollywood Burbank Airport sits at 2627 North Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505. The airport lists ride sharing, rental cars, shuttles, taxis, buses, and trains. The main airport line is 818-840-8840. Wikipedia notes the airport opened in 1930 as United Airport, and later carried the name Bob Hope Airport. Wikivoyage still uses the older name.
Wikivoyage reports the airport has Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner service. Check current train schedules before you plan a trip without a car. Wikivoyage adds the Antelope Valley line runs seven days a week while the Ventura line runs on weekdays.

The Best Western Plus Media Center Inn and Suites page on Visit Burbank gives the phone as 818-842-1900. The page lists free parking, a pool, a fitness center, and a free continental breakfast. We could not confirm those details with Best Western.
We do not quote rates. Prices move with studio events, conventions, and holidays. Compare the total with taxes and fees on two booking sites and by phone.
What to Do Near Your Burbank Hotel
The Warner Bros. Studio Tour is the headline stop. Wikivoyage also lists the Martial Arts History Museum at 2319 West Magnolia Boulevard and the Pickwick Gardens ice rink and bowling center at 1001 Riverside. Television show tapings often offer free tickets online, according to Wikivoyage.
Wikivoyage says Walt Disney Studios offers tours only to D23 members and Adventures by Disney guests. Do not plan a Disney lot visit without one of those. Wikipedia describes the Rancho Equestrian District, where residents keep horses and ride trails to Griffith Park. The Chandler Bikeway links downtown to North Hollywood.
The Old Page Listed the Wrong City
Earlier versions of this guide named Residence Inn Anaheim Brea, Chase Suite Hotel Brea Fullerton, Embassy Suites Brea, Hyland Inn Brea, and Travelodge Brea. Those hotels sit in Brea, a different city in Orange County. We removed all of them.
The old page also named a Burbank Museum and Heritage Center, a Burbank Art Gallery, a Brea Creek Trail, and camping at Carbon Canyon Regional Park. We found no proof these belong in a Burbank hotel guide, so we dropped them.
How to Choose Between Burbank Hotels
Studio fans should start in the Media District. The Tangerine, Hotel Amarano, and Best Western Plus all sit near the studios.
Film location fans should look at the Safari Inn. Three movie titles tie to the property.
Early flights point to the airport area. Several hotels there list shuttles, but confirm hours before you rely on one.
Couples and food lovers should look at downtown. The airport site counts over 600 shops, restaurants, and activities downtown.
Pet owners should call first. Hotel Amarano calls itself pet friendly. We found no pet rules for the other hotels.
Long stays point to Residence Inn, Extended Stay America, or a Coast Burbank suite with a kitchen.
What We Checked and What We Could Not
We checked the hotel list against Visit Burbank. We checked The Tangerine, Hotel Amarano, and Coast Burbank against their own sites. We checked the studio tour against the official tour site. We took the city facts from Wikipedia, the airport facts from the airport site, and the transit and sightseeing details from Wikivoyage.
We could not confirm current rates, room counts for most hotels, or shuttle hours. We could not open several hotel sites. Confirm every detail with the property before you pay.
