Facility Overview
The 1400 Ivar Ave Garage is a centrally located, multi-level parking facility situated in the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles. This structure serves as a primary hub for visitors exploring the iconic Sunset Boulevard corridor. The garage is designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most mid-size SUVs. Drivers should be mindful of standard urban clearance limitations typical of older Hollywood parking structures; while perfectly suited for city commuters, extremely oversized trucks or lifted vans may find the turning radii and height clearances restrictive.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before major concert events to avoid peak ingress traffic. Since this area experiences high congestion, consider using navigation apps to monitor real-time traffic updates on Ivar Ave. If you are attending a sold-out event, pre-booking your spot online is highly recommended to guarantee space and lock in competitive rates, as walk-up demand can lead to event-day surge pricing.
