Travel: Tips for booking a hotel for your child’s college graduation

Caltech and Cal State Northridge: Bob Hope Airport, aka Hollywood Burbank Airport, aka Burbank Airport, is a time-saving alternative to frenetic LAX. For families coming by plane for graduations at Northridge, Caltech and elsewhere in the San Fernando Valley, Burbank makes a lot of sense. Think BUR for ceremonies at USC and UCLA, too, as we happily did for a son’s Bruin bash a year ago. For a place to stay near the airport, and a free shuttle to boot, there’s the luxurious and newly renovated Hotel Amarano (hotelamarano.com), a 132-unit hidden gem inspired by the glamor of vintage Hollywood. The onsite FYC Bar + Kitchen offers a fresh take on California cuisine and a stylish, yet comfortable spot for toasting grads on their achievement. Another plus is rates are stable for the next few months, and this comes from the hotel’s mouth. -- Los Angeles Daily News
