Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
From Freepedia
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is a historic hotel located at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Named for Theodore Roosevelt, it first opened its doors on May 15, 1927.
The banquet and presentation of the 1st Academy Awards was held at the hotel, although it was moved in subsequent years. As of 2005, the hotel is still in operation.
A recent renovation has made the hotel and its Tropicana poolside bar a Hollywood hotspot, where the latest young stars go to party. The hotel's penthouse is the home of Johnny Grant, the Honorary Mayor of Hollyood, who can often be seen eating in the hotel's restaurant or walking through its lobby.
