Mark Davis, president and CEO of Sun Hill Properties Inc., said in a statement that, “we owe these additional rooms to the region as we prepare to host the 2028 Olympic Games and tourism numbers continue to rise.” The Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City Hotel is currently a 4-star hotel that is located right next to Universal Studios Hollywood.

This hotel is a popular choice for travelers who are visiting Universal Studios Hollywood, and we are excited to see that the space will be expanded, and additional hotel rooms will be built. In addition to this expansion of the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City Hotel, Universal Studios Hollywood has been undergoing a large transformation.
