Character and identity
Opened in 1927 on Hollywood Boulevard and host to the first Academy Awards, the Roosevelt trades on genuine Old Hollywood pedigree: Monroe, Gable and Chaplin all passed through, and Gable and Lombard's old residence is now the three-level Penthouse Suite. The 300 rooms split between Yabu Pushelberg's Tower (four-poster beds, hardwood floors, persimmon and blue accents) and the more mid-century Cabana Suites by Waaw Design, clustered around the Tropicana pool with its 1988 David Hockney mural. Dining and drinking run from 25 Degrees burger diner to Rosy Café and The Spare Room, a speakeasy with a two-lane vintage bowling alley.
Who's it for
Best for:
Night owls, design-literate travellers and anyone who wants to live inside Hollywood mythology rather than observe it from a quieter neighbourhood. Couples drawn to the pool scene, the Hockney, late-night cocktails at The Spare Room and the proximity to the Hollywood Bowl will find this their natural habitat.
Should look elsewhere:
If you want calm, polish and distance from crowds, this isn't it. The Walk of Fame tourist crush outside is relentless, the vibe is closer to Times Square than residential LA, and families or business travellers seeking a serene base will be happier in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica.
Bottom line
This is a nightlife hotel with a serious design pedigree attached, not a retreat: you're paying for the address, the Hockney pool, the bowling alley and the soundproofed room you crawl back to at 2am. Book a Tower Studio King Suite for Hollywood Sign views, or a Cabana Suite if the pool scene is the point. Worth it for those who want to be in the thick of it.
