Responding to the growing popularity of Universal Studios next door, the original Hilton Universal City hotel was built on top of this hill in 1983. This American movie studio theme park attracts over 10 million guests a year, and having a beautiful, relaxing place to stay nearby elevates their experience of the entertainment capitol of the world. This new tower addition to the hotel will share multiple new pool, spa, bar and restaurant amenities with the existing hotel. From the rooms and the roof top, guests are able to look out over the sun-filled San Fernando Valley and soak in the magic and glamour of Southern California. The form and exterior of the hotel was a close collaboration with a Chinese design firm well known to the international owner and investors.
