What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The tower rooms are true to the Spanish Colonial heritage of the hotel’s history, even as they’ve been thoroughly updated to please the contemporary eye.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set directly along the Walk of Fame, the entrance looks across to the TCL Chinese Theatre amid the buzz of Hollywood Boulevard.
The rooms
Tower rooms feature hardwood floors and Spanish tile patterns, while mid-century cabanas open directly onto the palm-encased pool deck.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
David Hockney hand-painted the underwater wave mural in 1988. Palm trees and cushioned loungers line the sunny deck.
The gym
Mirrored walls and strength-training machines fill the fitness room, with morning yoga classes hosted on site.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The Spare Room has two vintage bowling lanes, and Gable serves dinner in a dining room of mirrored columns.
How it began
Founded in 1927 with backing from silent-film titans, the hotel hosted Hollywood's very first Academy Awards ceremony in the Blossom Ballroom.
