Following an expansive 20 million dollar renovation in 2014, The Hollywood Roosevelt, a nearly 90-year-old classic and prominent character in Hollywood, has reprised its role once again with a modern interpretation to a fabled historical beauty.
Located in the heart of Hollywood, the 300-room hotel is the perfect marriage between old world elegance and modern playful. The hotel is divided between a main tower that houses 240 rooms, and continues to be recognized by the Historical Preservation Board for its 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival Style, and 60 transitionally designed bungalows, offering a play on indoor living, outdoors. The bungalow rooms overlook a David Hockney painted pool that is profoundly surrounded by over 200 palm trees, creating the perfect urban oasis.
The Hollywood Roosevelt remains one of Trip Adivisor’s top ranked hotels in Los Angeles, and was also awarded a 2016 Conde Nast Readers Choice Award.
