Built in the 1880’s the minute you walk into this place you are transported into another magical world. The restaurant service is first rate, food selection beautiful (all food allergies catered for - bonus), servers polite, friendly and very helpful.But the highlight is the magic shows. Yes folks not only do you see the main show but there are eight other rooms where shows happen all evening. From beginning to end a delightful experience. In fact it is an experience I will remember to the end of my days as a huge highlight. Can not rate this highly enough.A little tip - if you stay at the Magic Castle Hotel you can gain entry. Otherwise you have to be invited by a member. Do not miss out on this world class experience.

There are new owners of the Magic Castle. In my estimation, this place is not really what it used to be. The food is over priced and the place is too crowded. Save yourself some $$$ and find a better experience in Los Angeles

paid a lot to get in and was expecting more. food was just meh and the noise level made it hard to enjoy the shows. lines were long and seats cramped. I mean the magic acts felt rushed and not special. staff was ok but not enough to make up for it.

TLDR: Racist, discriminatory behavior. This was my second time at the Magic Castle, and this time I was hoping to make my husband's birthday, well, magical -- but from the moment the staff laid eyes on us they were rude, combative, and condescending. We spent over $1,000 there, and were treated like dirt by everyone except for the servers at the restaurant. I truly have never been treated or talked to that way, ever. We put up with it for hours in the attempt to keep my husband's birthday special, but eventually it wore us down and we had to go -- only having seen two shows. And to top it off, as we left, one of the staff members admitted to us that he had been treating us terribly from the get go. I don't understand why you'd treat people who were invited here, to celebrate a special night, about to spend a lot of money with that level of derision and scorn. Needless to say, we will never be back here. I've lived in LA for almost 20 years, and truly am disappointed to see how far some of the institutions around here have fallen.

My son and I recently stayed at the magic castle hotel. The location is amazing but the staff is what makes it fantastic. In particular a manger named Kevin. He was incredibly lovely, helpful and definitely made it a memorable stay.I highly recommend you stay here when visiting Los Angeles you won't regret it.
