Facility Overview

The parking garage at Ovation Hollywood (formerly recognized worldwide as the Hollywood & Highland Center) serves as the primary subterranean parking hub for the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles. Located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard, this massive, multi-level underground parking structure features thousands of spaces spread across multiple well-lit levels directly below the premier shopping, dining, and entertainment complex. The facility is fully covered, climate-buffered, and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The parking decks comfortably accommodate standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, minivans, and full-size SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, commercial transit vans, or vehicles equipped with high roof racks should observe the posted vehicle height clearance of 7 feet (84 inches), making standard ground-level or off-site open-air lots preferable for oversized commercial vehicles.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned directly on the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame, this garage offers unprecedented immediate access to iconic Los Angeles landmarks and entertainment venues without ever needing to step outdoors:

• TCL Chinese Theatre & IMAX: Located directly adjacent on Hollywood Boulevard (1-minute walk).
• Dolby Theatre: Renowned home of the Academy Awards, located within the Ovation complex itself with direct elevator access.
• El Capitan Theatre: Disney\'s historic movie palace situated directly across Hollywood Boulevard (2-minute walk).
• Madame Tussauds Hollywood: Adjacent to the complex on Orange Drive (1-minute walk).
• Hollywood Bowl: A prime transit transfer point; visitors frequently park in the garage and board the official Hollywood Bowl park-and-ride shuttle originating at the Orange Court entrance (5-minute shuttle ride to the amphitheater).
• Jimmy Kimmel Live! / El Capitan Entertainment Centre: Directly across Hollywood Boulevard (2-minute walk).

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The parking facility offers dual subterranean vehicular portals engineered to handle heavy Hollywood traffic flow. Drivers can enter and exit either via Highland Avenue (heading northbound or southbound just north of Hollywood Boulevard) or via North Orange Drive. Modern digital signage outside indicates real-time space availability before entering. Exiting during peak theater curtain calls or major holiday evenings can encounter queued traffic onto Highland Avenue; taking the Orange Drive exit onto Franklin Avenue or Sunset Boulevard often provides faster routing away from congestion.

For multi-modal transit connections, the Hollywood/Highland Metro B Line (Red Line) subway station sits directly beneath the complex, delivering rapid rail connections to Universal Studios Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, and Koreatown. Multiple Metro bus lines (including lines 212, 217, and 222) stop right at the corner of Hollywood & Highland.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Remember to carry your parking ticket with you when exiting your vehicle rather than leaving it on the dashboard. Taking advantage of validation from Ovation restaurants, retailers, or the cinema will reduce parking costs substantially for up to 2 to 4 hours. If visiting during premiere nights, red carpet ceremonies, or the Academy Awards season, anticipate street closures along Hollywood Boulevard and plan your approach using Highland Avenue from the north or Orange Drive from the south.
