Universal Studios Hollywood has partnered with more than 20 Los Angeles hotels to roll out its Preferred Hotel Program, the company has announced. The program is accessible through Universal’s websites and includes descriptions and booking options for the selected hotels within the greater Los Angeles area. Many of the hotels in the program offer shuttle services to Universal Studios. In addition, if a guest books a hotel package, which includes hotel accommodations as well as theme park tickets, he or she will be able to access the new “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” an hour earlier than other park-goers. A couple hotels included in the program are the Garland hotel in North Hollywood and the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City.
