Construction of a new high-rise addition to the Hilton hotel in Universal City was approved by the Los Angeles Planning Commission, clearing a major hurdle for the long-planned expansion.
The decision comes as Universal Studios and other popular tourist destinations in the region shine for hoteliers even as other properties in California's urban centers struggle to fill their rooms. The commission recommended last week that the City Council approve construction of an 18-story addition to the 24-story Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City hotel, which opened in 1984.
The expansion is proposed by Sun Hill Properties Inc., which owns the Universal City hotel operated by Hilton. Sun Hill President Mark Davis said the company is 'immensely gratified' to have the Planning Commission's endorsement. 'We still believe in the future of L.A. and the continued growth of our primary demand driver, Universal Studios Theme Park, the key magnet to attract tourism to the City of Angels,' he said in a statement.
