About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the pulsating core of Central Hollywood, Hollywood Parking at 1637 N Cahuenga Blvd provides open-air surface parking just steps from the world-famous intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Cahuenga Boulevard. The lot features an accessible, level asphalt layout designed for straightforward drive-in self-parking or attendant-assisted parking during high-demand weekend evenings. Because this facility is an outdoor, open-sky lot without subterranean decks or low-hanging structural ceilings, it offers open vertical clearance. This makes it an ideal parking solution not only for compact sedans and standard family passenger cars, but also for full-size SUVs, lifted pickup trucks, high-roof commercial vans, and roof-rack-equipped vehicles that often exceed the restrictive height limits of conventional multi-story Hollywood parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot’s strategic footprint places visitors right in the center of the bustling Cahuenga Corridor—one of Southern California's premier dining, nightlife, and entertainment thoroughfares. Key nearby landmarks and entertainment venues within convenient walking distance include:

Hollywood Walk of Fame: Less than a 2-minute stroll (approx. 300 feet north) to the iconic star-lined sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard.
Hollywood & Vine / Pantages Theatre: Only 0.3 miles east (a 6-to-7-minute walk), providing hassle-free parking for attendees of Broadway-scale touring shows, musicals, and red-carpet premieres.
Hollywood Palladium: Roughly 0.4 miles away along Sunset Boulevard (an 8-to-10-minute walk), ideal for concertgoers seeking to escape the venue’s immediate pick-up and drop-off traffic.
Cahuenga & Selma Entertainment Corridor: Directly surrounding the lot, drivers have instant access to buzzy nightlife venues, cocktail lounges, and acclaimed dining spots such as Tramp Stamp Granny's, The Room Hollywood, Mama Shelter, TAO Asian Bistro, Beauty & Essex, and the Dream Hollywood Hotel.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are positioned directly along North Cahuenga Boulevard between Hollywood Boulevard and Selma Avenue. Drivers traveling from greater Los Angeles can access the lot easily via the US-101 (Hollywood Freeway), taking either the Cahuenga Boulevard exit from the north or the Gower Street/Hollywood Boulevard exit from the south, both of which lead directly to the lot within 3 to 5 minutes under normal traffic conditions. For multi-modal commuters and visitors wishing to connect with public transit, the Metro B Line (Red Line) Hollywood/Vine subway station is merely 0.3 miles away, offering rapid rail transit to Universal Studios, Downtown Los Angeles, and North Hollywood. Multiple Metro local bus routes, including lines 217, 222, and 180, also stop within one to two blocks along Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Given the bustling nature of the Cahuenga Corridor, traffic along Cahuenga Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard tends to peak on Thursday through Saturday evenings from 8:00 PM onward. Drivers heading to dinner reservations or curtain calls are strongly encouraged to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to secure a convenient space. On major concert or holiday event nights, flat-rate event pricing may take effect; having digital payment methods or cash ready ensures rapid entry. When exiting late at night, turning south toward Selma Avenue or Sunset Boulevard often provides an easier route to the US-101 freeway than turning north onto heavily congested Hollywood Boulevard.
