Close to Burbank's TV and movie studios, the smartly designed Amarano feels like a Beverly Hills boutique hotel. The vibe is residential; the look understated (muted beiges and greens). The lobby is a welcoming living room with glass fireplace and corners for quiet conversation, cocktails or tapas. Feather beds are covered in comfy duvets; thoughtful touches include plush bathrobes and hooks for hanging garment bags. Generous work spaces have state-of-the-art lighting, and bathrooms have granite vanities, makeup mirrors, and shelves for storage. The rooftop sundeck has a brightly striped cabana and view of the nearby hills. Pros: boutique style in a Valley location, rooftop gym, pleasant breakfast room. Cons: no pool to cool off during scorching summertime; Pass Ave. street noise.

I could not believe a hotel of this class was in Burbank. We went to see the Tonight Show, quite honestly all the guests seem to stay at The Graciela. It was beautiful and our room was large with the most incredible beds. Food was excellent as well as the staff. Not stuffy, very friendly. Highly recommend this great hotel
