THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT
About the Castle Hotel
The Hollywood Roosevelt, Los Angeles - A Reinvented Icon
This reinvented icon, a 90-year-old classic and a prominent character in Hollywood's storied past, has gracefully reprised its role with a modern interpretation of its historical beauty. The Hollywood Roosevelt offers a distinctly cinematic experience, seeking individuals with a flair for glamour and hospitality to carry on its legacy.
Location
Positioned at the heart of Hollywood, The Hollywood Roosevelt is a mere five-minute walk from the Hollywood/Highland Metro station and a short stroll to iconic landmarks like the TCL Chinese Theatre and the Dolby Theatre. The pulse of the LA food scene beats strongly here, with unique restaurants and bars reflecting the city's bold culinary spirit just outside its doors. While the immediate area is steeped in cinematic history, the hotel offers a 20-minute drive to the 7th St/Metro Center for broader city access, and is 15 km from Hollywood Burbank Airport.
Style and Character
The beautifully designed interiors, a fusion of subtle Spanish accents and mid-century modern furnishings, instantly imbue guests with a sense of luxurious comfort. The Historic Lobby, a testament to Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, features arched doorways, stone columns, and exquisitely paneled ceilings that evoke warmth and romance, further enhanced by an historic fountain and a new fireplace that has made it the most sought-after lounge spot in Hollywood. The renovated spaces showcase a modern interpretation of the Italian countryside, where summers are spent cooking over an open fire, creating an atmosphere that is both timeless and contemporary, a Los Angeles historic hotel where 60s style designs meld seamlessly with a modern feel.
Service and Facilities
The Hollywood Roosevelt offers a comprehensive array of services and facilities, including 24-hour room service with an eclectic menu catering to all-day brunch and late-night cravings. For events, the hotel provides 4,500 square feet of historic space, alongside grand ballroom and rooftop venues with panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills, suitable for meetings, receptions, and parties. The Spare Room offers an intimate setting for smaller gatherings. Rejuvenating massage treatments are available just steps away from the Tropicana Pool, a celebrated outdoor cinema that sets the stage for movie premieres and film festivals under the stars.
Rooms
Room categories range from the 350-square-foot Bungalow Superior, featuring a simple palette of natural oak and charcoal against bronze mirrors and ebony floors, to luxurious Hollywood suites with wrap-around balconies and daybeds overlooking the Tropicana Pool. Standard rooms often include hardwood floors, a flat-screen TV, a work desk, a minibar, and an en suite bathroom with plush bathrobes and luxury toiletries. Some larger suites provide separate living and dining areas, while specialized rooms offer unique features such as pool access with a private furnished patio or custom canopy beds. Personally, I find the inclusion of details like 400 thread-count sheets and premium sound systems elevates the standard.
Food and Drink
The culinary offerings are a reflection of the LA food scene's bold spirit. Public Kitchen & Bar presents an upscale American brasserie experience with stalwart dinners like steak frites with chimichurri or pork chops with cheddar grits. Rosy Café, located poolside, offers a decidedly sexy edge with breakfast favorites and an all-day menu including Baja-style ceviche and vegan tacos. The Barish, an Italian steakhouse by Nancy Silverton, showcases a rustic menu of simply grilled steaks and offers baked pastas and a curated wine list. The poolside cafe is particularly noteworthy for its fresh local fare, from gulf shrimp ceviche to gluten-free almond flour pancakes.
Value for Money
While specific pricing varies, the blend of historic glamour, modern amenities, and prime Hollywood location suggests a strong value proposition for discerning travelers. The breadth of facilities, from event spaces to the famed pool area, and the quality of dining options contribute to an experience that feels commensurate with its elevated status.
Accessibility
The Hollywood Roosevelt prioritizes accessibility with dedicated rooms featuring roll-in showers, attached accessible seating, mobility assistance toilets and vanities, and hearing accessible devices including visual alarms and visual notification for door and phone upon request. These thoughtful provisions ensure a comfortable stay for guests with varying needs.
Family-Friendly
While not explicitly detailed, the spacious suites with separate living and dining areas would naturally accommodate families. The allure of the Tropicana Pool and the cinematic surroundings offer entertainment for all ages, though specific child-centric amenities or programs are not highlighted in the provided information.
