Introducing a first-class live entertainment venue

Since opening its doors in 2001, the Kodak Theatre is hosted a handful of spectacular live events. These have included concerts, awards shows and various touring Broadway productions. Minivan rental travelers may recognize the venue from shows like the AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards, the Daytime Emmy Awards and the BET Awards. The American Idol finals have also taken place here, along with concerts by Celine Dion, Prince, Barry Manilow and Stevie Wonder. The Kodak Theatre provides the perfect backdrop for these awesome events, thanks to atmosphere of subtle sophistication and extreme excitement.

A feast for the eyes

For minivan rental travelers, the Kodak Theatre experience begins outside the Hollywood & Highland Center in front of the Kodak Theatre's front door. Here, you'll see a towering portal, which serves as the venue's grand entrance. Just past the portal, you'll find a two-story Awards Walk, which features backlit glass plaques for all Oscar Winning Best Pictures. From there, a sweeping staircase welcomes minivan rental customers into the theatre. Once inside, you'll find a second staircase located at the center of the five-level theatre lobby. Architectural highlights in the main lobby area include cherry wood balustrades, topped by an oval, uplit silvery dome. The main audience chamber boasts a silver-leafed "tiara", which both supports and disguises the theatre's immense ceiling grid. Sumptuous details like plush fabrics and spacious seats add to the comfort and ambience of this venue, while bright lights and gold details capture Hollywood's allure.
