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!

Fantastic location in the heart of Hollywood! The hotel was beautiful and had so much history. This hotel has been in so many movies and I can see why…The architecture is absolutely one of a kind. The pool had plush lounge chairs and the food and drinks were great as well. They also had a DJ during the weekend. The restaurants were delicious!… Read more
Fantastic location in the heart of Hollywood! The hotel was beautiful and had so much history. This hotel has been in so many movies and I can see why…The architecture is absolutely one of a kind. The pool had plush lounge chairs and the food and drinks were great as well. They also had a DJ during the weekend. The restaurants were delicious! Shirley Brasserie was fantastic and 25 degrees hit the spot it’s open 24/7 from wed-sun must try the grilled cheese & soup it was so good! Next time I will have to go to their Mixology bar which looked great, The mixologist makes his own syrups! The staff was very kind and helpful but especially the security manager Bill Paz He was exceptional he gave us a tour and had so many stories of the property which was an amazing experience I will never forget. I can’t wait to come back! Read less

Hope they don’t miss up other clients plan more! Read less

The number one thing that’s stuck out for me right off. The bat was how genuinely nice and helpful all the staff were. I’ve been in customer service for a long, long time, and I know when people are faking it, and when their hearts are in it and these folks really have their hearts in it. I’d like to give a particular shout out to security guy,… Read more

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here, and probably my last. They upgraded my room which in any other hotel would be good. But here the upgrade places you close to the pool. The pool is lovely.

Food and drink service available. But they feel the need to have a DJ blasting music all afternoon. It makes enjoying the pool and room nearly impossible. I've stayed at the Loews up the street before. The pool isn't as nice, but it is quiet. Read less

Overall a good hotel with lots of history. Some staff very pleasant but reception staff need further customer care training. You get stung by the destination tax of 35 dollars a day even though your tax on your booking is stated as less. Front desk would not budge on it. They said take it up with your tour company. The ironic thing is when we… Read more
Overall a good hotel with lots of history. Some staff very pleasant but reception staff need further customer care training. You get stung by the destination tax of 35 dollars a day even though your tax on your booking is stated as less. Front desk would not budge on it. They said take it up with your tour company. The ironic thing is when we checked out two days later I got an e mail saying all destination taxes did not exist anymore and would I like to book again…..really! Read less
