Holiday Inn
Rebranded as Hollywood Heights Hotel
The Hollywood
Chamber of Commerce helped to celebrate the
rebranding of the former Holiday Inn – Hollywood
Walk of Fame last week. The hotel, now known as
the Hollywood Heights Hotel, is located at 2005
N. Highland Avenue. The Holiday Inn
nomenclature will not be lost however, since a
new adjacent hotel will become a Holiday Inn
Express. According to Robert Cioffi, the general
manager of the rebranded facility, the move
represents an effort to meet a growing need for
“a more sophisticated mid-range hotel offering
at the gateway to Hollywood.” Each of the
property’s 160 guest rooms has been reappointed,
with luxurious bed linens, Internet access, and
32-inch LCD HDTVs. A new restaurant and bar
will debut this fall. Local residents are
welcome to visit the new upgraded facilities.
