The renovation of Hotel Amarano Burbank-Hollywood infuses classic Hollywood glamour with modern sophistication.

The outdoor spaces, including the pool area, restaurant, lobby, and guestrooms, were reimagined with rich textures, bold accents, and a warm, inviting palette – creating a boutique retreat that captures the charm of old Hollywood while catering to the contemporary traveller.

“The inspiration for the design and identity of this project came from the well-known and lesser-known history of Hollywood and Burbank.

Hearing stories about Hotel Amarano’s legacy from hotel ownership and management reminded our HBA Los Angeles team of Hollywood’s infamous Garden of Allah, a discreet hotel/home owned by the 1920s silent movie actress Alla Nazimova. Working in tandem with our branding firm, HBA Strategy, we pursued the idea of creating a ‘home’ personified by a fictional muse and gracious host named Amara, which translates to ‘grace, mercy, and kindness.”

— Richard Tennill, Partner, HBA Los Angeles
