THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT HOTEL The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is a historic hotel located at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California. The 300-room hotel opened on May 15, 1927, and is the oldest continually operating hotel in Los Angeles. In its early years, the hotel played host to count- less icons: Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, among others. It's served as inspiration for filmmakers and creatives who have set their movies within this storybook backdrop. In 1988, famed British painter David Hockney completed a multi-million dollar mural on the bot- tom of the Tropicana Pool. Both the hotel and the pool have been designated Historic-Cultural Monuments by the City's Cultural Heritage Commission. With over 25,000 sq. ft. of flexible space in one of Hollywood's most iconic buildings, this landmark comfortably caters to a range of events. The Hollywood Roosevelt offers a wide variety of traditional and unique wedding spaces that can be tailored to create your dream wedding as well. Recently restored to its original grandeur, the iconic Blossom Ballroom was the site of the first Academy Awards in 1929. The Blossom Ballroom's nearly 4,500 sq. ft. of historic space features 25-ft.-tall LED light ceilings, custom chandeliers, vin- tage tiles, original ceiling details and 10 foot radial doors. With nearly 2,400 sq. ft. of space, the Academy Room hosts up to 110 guests seated for a private dinner and 150 for a daz- zling reception. Formerly the office of the Motion Picture Academy, the Academy Room boasts large floor-to-ceiling win- dows overlooking Hollywood Boulevard, 16-foot vaulted ceilings and spectacular cast-iron chandeliers.
