Hollywood Roosevelt

Historic Haunted Hotel

Review Rating
The Hollywood Roosevelt has been featured in so many movies and TV shows, you're bound to recognize it when you walk in. Mostly, it's known for tourists for the haunted mirror with Marilyn Monroe's visage and some really strange hauntings. If you go to Hollywood, The Roosevelt is a must-see. The food in the restaurant is fantastic. If you have a lot of money and want to be in the center of it, definitely spend a couple of days based here. If not, when you are passing through, grab a drink at the bar and soak up the atmosphere. Lots of stars, too!

The buzz was considerable in 2005 when Thompson Hotels took over this landmark Mediterranean-style hotel, where the first Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929. One reason: The 300 rooms and suites were redesigned by Dodd Mitchell—L.A.'s pet designer for the last decade. The other reason: The poolside Tropicana Bar and interior club Teddy's were taken over by nightlife impresario Amanda... more
