(Mock-Tail) Shirley Temple
Lorenzjay C.

Residing on the fabulous and iconic Hollywood Blvd, lies the Escape Hotel. Right as you walk in, you'll be immersed within the haunting atmosphere. Spine-chilling sounds and unsettling music fill the air, while your eyes are met with the deathly yet glamorous decor that furnish the establishment. Not only are there escape rooms to experience, but there is also a wonderful bar that even provides live entertainment on certain nights. Here lies the staff who unfortunately haunt the halls. While they look terrifying, they are absolutely THE BEST!!! Our experience here would have been totally different without them here. They made every essence of the experience so smooth and memorable! Deanna had greeted us and started our check-in. She was so funny and hospitable, and as returning customers, made us feel extremely welcomed back. She recommended to check out the upstairs bar and restaurant while we waited for our game to start - and that was where we met Penny. Penny was super sweet and accommodating, especially given the fact that I am not (as of writing this) 21 yet. She had served us a delicious mock-tail of a traditional Shirley Temple. It was soooooo good! It was then our time for the game to start, and we were led through by our game master, Cameron! He was super thorough and clear, while remaining undeniably hilarious! Without him, our experience would not have been as funny as it was. He gave us helpful tips and provided great insight (without spoiling anything) for the horrors waiting for us inside. As I have mentioned, I am a returning customer. Our first time here, we played The Attic. It is their hardest room, but we successfully escaped with only minutes to spare (Cameron was also our game master for that as well!). It was so good and scary, that we HAD to come back for more! We decided this time to play Resurrection, their second hardest room. If you can't tell - I love a challenge. To no surprise, we escaped and only yearn to play the other rooms next. Lastly to round out my experience here, we had met Stone, who took our pictures below. He was such a delight to talk to. We ended up talking to him, Cameron, and Deanna for like almost a whole hour. Those mentioned above made such a difference, and I honestly can't wait to come back. Nonetheless, the staff here will truly add a touch of magic that completes your experience. SO PLEASE.. book your reservation for the Escape Hotel, where true horrors lie within each and every room!!!

Loved the Magic Show! Everyone was in character and the Magic was awesome! In Room 13 upstairs which is a circular balcony around the stage. The details of the venue from walking in the door, the decorations and ambiance added to the evening! I would come back just to have a drink in the lobby and soak up the atmosphere. What needs improvement: service was excellent the rest of dinner was poor at best. The drinks were good, a spicy margarita was great! Caesar Salad was the best thing we ordered. The crab cake was the worst I'd ever had. Was it frozen, defrosted and topped with fishy caviar. It was cold and non eatable. Chicken salad was a bed of greens and major digging to find the chicken. The salmon was raw inside and we had to eat around the outside of it. The server stated "these things happen". An indication that he's aware the food is pretty awful. I'll be back, eat at Russo & Franks just around the corner and have drinks only next visit. 2 item minimum per person with an auto 20% gratuity.

If you want to drink at the bar or eat here you need to make a reservation before hand. That wasn't clear to me from the advertising i saw and we got there a little early to have a drink before the maze and we're not allowed at the bar without a reservation. We came dressed up since it was around Halloween time. Walked Hollywood Blvd after and get a drink at the Taco Bell cantina

My friends and I had a blast at this unique and creepy Escape Hotel! Walking in, I really felt like we were in a haunted hotel, and the workers there were fully dressed and acting to match the eerie theme! There was a bar upstairs and live music, which we enjoyed before we started our escape room. The rooms each have a different theme and story. I don't want to give too much away, but there are some great effects that will seriously scare you but in a fun way! We ended up doing two different rooms because we had so much fun and didn't want to leave. Each room gives you the standard one hour to get out and the ability to get clues along the way if you want. We ended up passing both rooms using some clues. I'm looking forward to returning and enjoying some more!

Great experience thanks to our amazing ghost Julia! She was very kind and in character the whole night! The staff was amazing throughout the entire experience and I look forward to going back soon!

If you're looking for a fun group activity in Hollywood, this is it. I celebrated my birthday here with a party of five. We completed Attic which is a 15% escape rate and Daycare 65% escape rate (no hints to boot). Both rooms were seriously super eerie but so much fun! I've also completed Cursed Crypt before, which isn't really a scary attraction more like action and adventure if you want to steer away from the horror. I do 100% recommend Attic if you want a good scare. If you're a first timer, I would start off with Daycare since it provides a good amount of scare and it's easy lol. We were lucky to be paired with Cameron, he helped us check in and gave us a memorable experience. The atmosphere overall is eerie but mesmerizing. It's so cool because you get a little passport with your photo on it and they stamp every room you've escaped. There's also a bar and entertainment so while you're waiting for your game to begin, there's something you can do. We did play on a Sunday, so it was $49 per person. FYI: They are closed Mondays. All in all, this is the best Escape Room in Los Angeles. I always have a great time bonding with family and friends here. I'm not at all a brainiac, i'm more of the comedic relief in the group but it helps to have someone who's really good at puzzles lol.

What a great and fun night of mystery and puzzle solving! The moment I walked in the hotel the actors, employees and characters were all dressed to make the vibe real as we gathered to check in and have our passports made and stamped for a night of adventure. I highly recommend this for something different and creepy. Lots of laughter, screams and you will come out alive I promise lol! Our room was one of a creepy circus theme where we had to solve in order for the next door to open in order for us to get out. We were one step away to make it out alive but one of our friends hates to use the clues and would rather solve it on her own which eats up all the time. Just use the clues on the board to save time ;)

This place is such a great girls day outing or date night! There's so much to this building and you're for sure to not get bored here! From the fancy & fun decorations, awesome performances, and if you're really feeling it escape rooms you are for sure to have a blast. I went to the restaurant portion and it was so lovely! The performance was beautiful food was great, service was great. I can't wait to come back!

Beautiful singer for the evening with a great sense of humor
Damaris G.

I really enjoyed my experience here. Being an la native the easy route to go for a birthday celebration is a club, day party, rooftop, etc so this was a little different but perfect for a Sunday evening. I believe it's a $20 cover that was paid at the time of the reservation. We walked into the lobby and the place has a lot of workers in character to make it creepy ish but we walked past them and up the stairs to the lounge where you can see a gorgeous singer who takes requests and sings all the classics. Drinks were stiff but good and there's even a magician walking around while the singer takes a break. I think it's perfect for a large party or bday celebration if you want to skip the Hollywood crowds at other bars.

We had a reservation for 6 for the cursed crypt over the weekend. Make sure to book RSVP online especially if you have a large group or during peak times. Parking is meter on the street, paid lot across the street or paid structures nearby. The checkin process is at the front desk where everyone has to fill out waivers. There is a random worker dressed up scaring waiting customers so be aware! There is also a restaurant and full bar upstairs if you want to grab food/drinks before your game time or after. The cursed crypt story line is you're trapped inside a Eqyptian tomb and trying to escape. This room has a 40% escape rate with a level 5 hardness. Total you will go through 3 different rooms to escape. This definitely requires alot of teamwork but the flow of the puzzles are pretty fun. You do have the option for unlimited clues on the TV if you're really lost. The best parts are the awesome animatronics in the final room on the boat. It's like you're in an Indiana Jones movies with the timer clicking by and special effects and sounds. We got out with 7:53mins to spare. Overall a great fun experience for beginners and intermediate level escape room players. This room is probably too easy for advanced players though since most are straight forward linear clues in the storyline. This is also the least "scary" room of all available rooms for younger kids or people that are scared. Note yes this place does have higher fee then most places but you are in Hollywood where they are catering to tourist mostly.

Escape Hotel is the most unique spot in Hollywood! The owners have designed a gorgeous venue full of special effects for dining, drinks, live music, magic shows, and escape rooms! There is much to explore and love about this place. What drew me in is the window displays: Vintage horror mystery. The "hotel" looks like a 1920s-1940s blast to the past with a hint of spooky hauntings. As you enter the lobby, an authentic reception area will create your Escape Hotel passport. The lobby lounge is a beautiful place to relax in if you are watching the live performers up on the second level stage or just waiting your turn for an escape room. Upstairs, is the hidden restaurant/bar speakeasy. The seating is circular with all seats on a balcony style and views of the stage. All the workers are "dead" ghosts of the past in vintage attire. They seem to enjoy working there and get into character as they serve you! Entertainment: Thursdays are Frank Sinatra nights which brings in a lively crowd. Fridays are currently magic show nights. $20 per person for a seat upstairs. You may order any dinner or drinks upstairs from your ghost host. The magic show was created by Alex Kazam and the co-owner, Ivan Leon. They created all the magic contraptions and machines that rotate on and off the stage. The magician's assistants are incredibly talented! They perform a lot of the magic! Igor, a character in the show, does a great job in his role! Saturdays are either the Satin Dolls dinner show or vintage song nights by talented singers. Sundays are Blues & Jazz band. Special effects are everywhere! Be prepared for hourly hauntings, thunder & lightening storms, portraits moving on the walls, chandeliers swaying. That's just in the dining, lounge, reception, and hall areas. Special effects are even more spectacular in the 6 escape rooms! Once you try one, you will want to try them all! They are such creative and great experiences! Hence, the passport to receive your stamp once you escape each room! They are pricey: $50 per person with up to 6 people per room. It is totally worth it! I've done 4 over the year. My favorite is the Crypt- built by the designers from the Laura Croft Tomb Raider movies! This is a huge multi-room escape where you will be transported to Laura's family crypt to look for clues, to an old Admiral's office, and then overseas to a ... I'll stop. Don't want to give it away! Awesome special effects! My other favorites are: Daycare, The Attic, The Zombie Lab. Food and drinks: Try the shrimp, the cheese balls, the lamb, the duck salad, the tacos. I always want to go back for those flavors! Bartenders are perfect with each drink!

Trying the restaurant

I surprised my boyfriend to a reservation at the Escape Hotel restaurant for his birthday, with the hopes of also joining an escape room. The check in process was simple and we got seated right away. We had such a great time during dinner with the unique experience of the haunted hotel theme, every few minutes the lights would flicker and guests would hear spooky noises. The dining area is upstairs and we were seated right next to the stage where we got to see a live performance of a woman with a cool, old-timey voice. The dining area has low lighting which definitely sets the mood for an intimate dining experience. The drinks from the bar were all themed, kind of old hollywood if I remember correctly, and they were so good. The menu is a bit limited and I wouldn't show up here starving. Great for tapas and shareables. After finishing dinner, we went downstairs to try and join an escape room. At this point, the lobby is full of groups (it was a Saturday night). We were told all the rooms were full. So I believe they do take walk ins, but as people normally come in groups the rooms will fill up quickly especially on the weekend nights. You can make a reservation for the rooms on their website! This was a huge bummer but again something that could have been avoided with some better planning. We honestly loved the atmosphere with the spooky hotel environment and can't wait to go back to play some rooms.

Review for CURSED CRYPT: Having been to multiple escape rooms, this one has always intrigued me. One day while we were strolling along Hollywood Blvd, I finally decided to poke my head in and look around. The lobby was wonderfully decorated, the staff was in character, the bar was well stocked and the creepy hallway leading to the escape room gave me chills. Fast forward and a group of my friends and I decide to visit The Crypt. The room was kind of small, and the immersive experience was a tad bit lacking. I enjoyed one of the rooms, but would not recommend maxing out the room capacity. For the price you pay, and the experience in the lobby, I just expected a bit more from the Escape Hotel. This is definitely one of the more pricier rooms I have been to, and felt that it should have at least included a game master or even a live actor to elevate the escape room. Overall, it was just ok. Maybe I'll try out one of the horror rooms in the future, since that is what they are famous for.

Ask the Community - Escape Hotel

Are we allowed in the bar/dining area even if we don't plan to do an escape room?

Yes! You most certainly are! I'd still recommend a reservation for just the bar/dining area though and they do a burlesque show Friday/Saturday nights that gets pretty packed.

Can a 17 year old participate or will they need a parental waiver signed?

They will need a parental waiver signed.

Can 2 people play privately? Or others have to join?

2 can play, but I highly recommend having more players with you. My friend and I played alone and we could tell it was meant for more people. We didn't get through it and if we had even one more person in the room we would have won.

If the maximum capacity for people isn't met, and we only have a group of 3 do you add additional people who we don't know Into the room ? Meaning would we have to pay to book the room privately?

I was able to play with a minimum of 2. There was no requirement for a max number for the game I played

Are there any actors in the room? Pls rate the rooms that they have by scale of scariness!

Hello Annie, Thank you for checking with us! We have several rooms with different levels of… Read more

How much does it cost?

It depends on the room but average cost per person is about $30-50 each.

Is Agent room fun?

Every room is fun! Agent is one of the "easier" types of rooms. It's a pretty small, so probably not a good idea for a big crowd, and you need patience with it. But, nevertheless, a fun room!

We were heading out…read moreto Hollywood for an event, and decided to stop by this location on the way to try their Doctor Psycho room. You must solve a serial killer's puzzles before he returns. They're located right on Western Ave, on the corner of a side street. The building is easy to spot with its orange and white exterior. Parking is also easy since they have their own private lot behind the building. After you park, walk around to the front corner, and ring the doorbell to gain entry. We arrived a little early, but were able to start right away. The adventure begins with a blood-spattered door before you even step inside. You are allowed to take pictures in the room and you can use your phones flashlight if needed. The room is a little dimly lit and helps set the mood. There are some good sound effects and a few jump scares, but it feels more creepy and spooky than scary. There is a good mix of combo locks, key locks, some unique mechanical puzzles, and a few dexterity puzzles. Everything worked fine, but the numbers on some of the combo locks were pretty worn. I ended up using the flashlight on my phone for those which helped a lot. This was definitely a fun room. We escaped with about eight minutes left and only needed a few nudges. Solving one of the puzzles near the end gives you a nice little personalized keepsake. They rate this room as medium difficultly which I would agree with. Our game master Kim was great. She was very friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with her before and after the room. Their rooms are a little pricey for only two people at $62.50 per person, but the price drops with the more people you bring. They have a same day booking discount, and you also can save $10 if you book seven or more days in advance.

They did such a fantastic job making it feel like you were on the set of a horror movie, the decor and props gave off a "Saw" vibe. Depending on what your fears are, this room might test them a little. The room starts off very dark, and at one point you are even in complete darkness. There will also be flashing lights, and a need to crawl through a tight space. There were plenty of puzzles for everyone in the group to work on, no one was left out which made everyone happy. We were able to complete the room with plenty of time to spare and had a great time figuring everything out. We would 100% come back to check out one of their other rooms at this location and check out some of the other themed rooms at their other locations as well. This is a great group activity whether you are with a group of friends, family or even co-workers. All of the props and puzzles in the room worked perfectly and we didn't run into any issues. Our game host was great, and they had a comfortable waiting area for when you are waiting for your room.
