Hollywood Roosevelt

Hollywood, Los Angeles

Virgin rating

The hotel

The Roosevelt is Hollywood's only historic hotel still in operation today. It hosted the first ever Academy Awards in 1929 and has seen throngs of people - including celebrities galore - pass through its doors. The hotel has even been featured in a few films and Shirley Temple took her first tap-dancing lesson on the tiled stairway! As if that's not enough, Montgomery Clift and Marilyn Monroe are reputed to haunt the joint - proof this place is too good to leave!

It’s been a while since I’ve stayed in Hollywood and I sure did pick one of the best spots!!! The most iconic hotel on the blvd, The Hollywood Roosevelt :) From the moment I dropped my car off at the valet, I felt transported back to a time of glitz and glamor trying to soak in the nostalgia. Sadly I was just there for work, but the amenities made it feel like a mini escape. I pulled my laptop out by the pool as servers came around to take my order, I enjoyed a delicious burger just down stairs at 25 degrees, and grabbed a drink in the lobby. If you l are looking for a convenience and a true iconic Hollywood vacation then definitely visit The Hollywood Roosevelt. Read less

One year passed by, some people left, but the new crew is as charming as ever. DUSTIN, LORNA and FALCON helped us out in any way they could to make us feel home away from home. They were attentive, smart und lovely overall. We are staying at a One Bedroom Suite, which I can highly recommend and when we return from Palm Springs on September 18th,… Read more
One year passed by, some people left, but the new crew is as charming as ever. DUSTIN, LORNA and FALCON helped us out in any way they could to make us feel home away from home. They were attentive, smart und lovely overall. We are staying at a One Bedroom Suite, which I can highly recommend and when we return from Palm Springs on September 18th, we will stay at our beloved Cabana Room. It is good to see that concierge Nicolas, Marc and David from Valet are still around! Good team! If Dustin manages to put us in our favorite room 116, this man HAS to be given a raise for making us happy! Jonas "Ben" Bernschneider Read less

Terrible customer service, disrespectful staff and inhuman attitude. I booked this hotel for my parents who stayed there last week. My father is 73 years old and I thought this would be a good option to stay and price was not a concern as it was for my parents. Both my parents fell terribly ill to the extent they could hardly leave the hotel room for the 5 nights they were booked here. They had to visit the hospital and were weak and on medications so we decided they will stay in the same hotel for 2 more days. I called the hotel and after speaking for 30 minutes to the person on the phone got confirmation that they can stay another 2 nights. My father on the way back from the hospital was also confirmed by the front desk that his 2 day extension is fine, but was asked to change room type for the last of the 5 nights originally booked which we agreed. Room was changed and all was settled. After all this, the next day they were suddenly told that they cant extend anymore. Mr. Thibov (Front Desk Manager) who didnt even bother to check the earlier discussions and agreement with his staff about extension was so impolite and rude that he went to the extent of telling my father that he will use security to throw them out of the hotel. Even though it was all confirmed by their staff, shouldn’t they check before taking it to this extent with 70 year old guests? Totally inhuman to treat senior citizen who isnt well in health too! Horrible people and horrible hotel. It was a horrible experience and I am in process on taking action for the same which the hotel will hear about soon. Better save yourself and DONT stay here!

This is a lovely hotel with lots of history and the best pool . Great location too.. Check in was easy, room was ready on arrival.. room wasn’t very big for 3 people but it did us. Beds are comfortable and bathroom is a good size. Room was very clean and towels , shampoo, hairdryer etc provided. The pool area is outstanding, a fair amount of sun loungers, beautiful pool which was hand painted and lots of palm trees making it very relaxing. Was a DJ giving it a great atmosphere.. not too load either. Guys behind the bar are very helpful with drinks and very friendly… big thank you to the bartender for the great drinks. Would be 5 stars but a few minor issues. Was my mother’s birthday and both myself and daughter had made separate requests but neither followed up on. But EMILY a reception was great and gave my mum a card when checking out. Also a little confusing at the bar with not being served but manager ROB was great in sorting this out. All in all a great stay , just a little disappointed about no acknowledgement of the birthday as that was our reason visiting. But any issues and staff are happy to help. And watch out for the bed posts , got many bruises from whacking my leg. Read less
