About The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
David Hockney’s artwork covers the bottom of the Tropicana Pool, giving The Hollywood Roosevelt a centerpiece guests can actually swim over. Opened in 1927, this Spanish Colonial Revival hotel on Hollywood Boulevard hosted the first Academy Awards in its Blossom Ballroom. Today, its character unfolds between the original tower and poolside cabanas, where sliding glass doors and mid-century furnishings shape a more casual stay. Tower accommodations include suites overlooking the boulevard and the Gable & Lombard Penthouse, with a vaulted ceiling and sunken living room. Downstairs, The Spare Room pairs cocktails with restored 1920s bowling lanes, while the Cinegrill Theater brings live performances into a restored Art Deco setting.
