Since 1927 the Roosevelt Hotel Hollywood Hotel has been the playground of luminaries including Clark Gable, Carole Lombard and Marylin Monroe and the birthplace of the Academy Awards. Sweeping renovations in 2005 by acclaimed designer Dodd Mitchell in 2005 heralded its rebirth-a place where old Hollywood and new Hollywood entwine. The historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel offers elegance and privacy to discriminating travelers and Hollywoods entertainment royalty.
