Welcome Receptions · Burbank, California

Start the weekend the way it should end.

First nights set the tone. Open your conference, reunion, or wedding weekend with cocktails by the fire — your guests’ rooms are an elevator ride away.

The Welcome Reception

Everyone lands. Everyone gathers. Nobody drives.

Welcome receptions at E.D.B. solve the first-night problem: guests land directly across the street at Hollywood Burbank Airport, check into one of 488 rooms and suites, and walk downstairs to cocktails around the fire pits. No shuttles across town, no scattered dinner plans — just the whole group, together, under the palms.

For seated welcome dinners, the 4,700-square-foot East Courtyard holds up to 150 guests in the open air, catered by the hotel's culinary team.
