Location, History, Who's Who's

1927 Icon of a Hotel after a facelift, only a few steps from Highland Shopping area and Chinese Theatre. Definitely visit the Tropicana Pool Bar at night, and taste the steak at Dakota's restaurant. Trendy yes, beautiful people yes, at your service yes. Ask for Lauren for tips on sights and tours. And be ready to see fashions and styles from all walks of life. Right in the middle of the action on Hollywood Blvd. and sleep comfortable and stretched out in the quiets rooms. Try it a few nights, very convenient.
