Our doors opened on May 27, 1927, to a glamorous throng including such Hollywood notables as Louis B. Mayer, Douglas Fairbanks, and Mary Pickford. The Hollywood Roosevelt quickly became known as "The Home of the Stars" and was the site of the first Academy Awards presentation in 1929. From the past to the present, the Hollywood Roosevelt is a deeply cherished Hollywood landmark. The hotel has been meticulously restored to its original Spanish Colonial splendor. The present day Hollywood Roosevelt includes 335 beautifully appointed rooms, including 20 luxury suites. What's more, the hotel features elegantly appointed Cabanas that offer both privacy and tropical garden views. The Cabanas surround a beautiful, bright, open-aired courtyard and swimming pool. Those who stay will experience the allure of the past with all the conveniences of the present. The Hollywood Roosevelt is the 1 Grande Dame of Hollywood.
