About Sportsmen's Lodge
Sportsmen's Lodge is a historic event hub now housed at The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge, located at 12833 Ventura Blvd in Studio City, CA. With roots as a Hollywood social hotspot, the venue has long hosted weddings, bar mitzvahs, awards, and other celebrations. The site combines a versatile event center within a shopping and dining environment, making it a convenient choice for planners and guests alike.
The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge opened in 2021–2022, following the long-standing hotel on the same campus that closed permanently during the COVID era. As redevelopment and future plans unfold, this venue continues to welcome guests for contemporary events while offering historic charm and a connection to the area’s entertainment heritage.
Whether you’re organizing a wedding, corporate gala, or awards ceremony, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transportation, and nearby accommodations and dining options to help you secure your event with ease.
Venue details: The event center sits within The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge, adjacent to the former hotel site. The historic ballrooms once accommodated up to around 1,000 guests, making it suitable for mid- to large-scale gatherings. The current on-site hotel facility has been redeveloped; future plans include the Residences at Sportsmen's Lodge with apartments and retail space, while the Shops provide flexible space and modern amenities for events.
Seating and layout: Ballrooms and function spaces offer flexible configurations to suit receptions, ceremonies, and seated dinners. For precise seating details, consult with our team and the venue’s event coordinator to reserve great seats and the section you want options that fit your guest count and preferred ambiance.
Parking: Parking at The Shops site is available in a standard paid structure, with established policies such as a first 90 minutes free and subsequent hour rates. The planned Residences project lists parking capacity around 1,385 vehicles, reflecting the neighborhood’s commitment to accessible guest parking during events. If you’re driving, allow extra time for parking traffic on Ventura Boulevard and consider shuttle options if you’re hosting a larger gathering.
Transportation: The area is served by LA Metro bus lines 155 and 156, with the Ventura Park & Ride nearby for regional connections. For guests traveling from other parts of Los Angeles, suggest coordinating rideshares or a dedicated shuttle plan to minimize parking congestion and ensure a smooth arrival and departure experience.
Nearby hotels and dining: The on-site hotel facility is currently closed and slated for redevelopment; for nearby lodging, consider established brands along Ventura Boulevard within a short drive. We highlight trusted affiliate partners for hotels and restaurants to help you book convenient accommodations and reliable dining options for your guests. Always check current availability and book early through partner links to secure the best arrangements for your event.
Notable history and events: Sportsmen's Lodge has hosted weddings, bar mitzvahs, award ceremonies (including industry recognitions like the Golden Boot and Silver Spur Awards), and other era-defining gatherings.
