Glen Capri Inn & Suites - Burbank Universal

Famous for its retro neon sign, the two-story Glen Capri Inn and Suites has been featured in over 20 films and TV shows and draws discerning travelers eager to revel in Hollywood history.

The historic Glen Capri Inn and Suite lie at the base of the Verdugo Mountains nestled into the community of Burbank. A half-mile from Interstate 5, this hotel is a budget property with a 1960s-style and just one-and-a-half miles from the zoo and observatory in Griffith Park, and three miles from the shops and restaurants at the Glendale Galleria mall.

The Glen Capri offers unmatched proximity to studios including Universal, NBC, Warner Bros, and Walt Disney. The location and history of the hotel are a fascinating aspect of the hotel. The exterior corridors lead to straightforward rooms that feature basic bedding and furnishings and feature free WiFi and flat-screen TVs, plus minifridges and microwaves. The suites add more space and convenience with kitchens and sitting areas with pull-out sofas.

The classic throwback hotel offers free perks such as on-site parking and WiFi. There's also a coffee shop and hookah lounge next to the hotel that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While freebies are a given luxury for guests, the true draw is the wall of fame pictures from famous people who have filmed movies near or at the hotel.

The Glen Capri is famous not only for its vast motion picture history but for its distinct architectural style, as well. A stay at the hotel is basic, but very convenient and loaded with history.
