The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
Old Hollywood glamour meets polished boutique hotel. Two distinct worlds under one roof: the Tower feels refined and residential; the Cabanas are lively, poolside, and vintage 1950s.
Request a Cabana room if the pool scene is your priority; choose the Tower if you want quieter nights and more desk space
Why It Matters
Site of the first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929. Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Marilyn Monroe, and Charlie Chaplin all called it home at various points. The swimming pool features an original David Hockney underwater mural. The hotel is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 545) and a member of Historic Hotels of America.
The Hollywood Roosevelt has been on Hollywood Boulevard since 1927, and it shows — in the best way. This is where the first Academy Awards took place in 1929, where Clark Gable and Carole Lombard once stayed for five dollars a night, and where Marilyn Monroe spent two early years of her career. A $25 million Yabu Pushelberg renovation restored the place to full glory: Spanish Colonial bones in the Tower, mid-century cabana rooms around a pool with a David Hockney mural painted on the bottom. It's loud, storied, and full of personality — still one of the most distinctive addresses in Los Angeles.
Where You'll Stay
13 room types available
Accessible King Deluxe
ADA-compliant Tower room with roll-in shower and dedicated seating, mobility-optimized vanities, and visual notification systems. Same design sensibility as the standard Deluxe rooms.
1 King
Cabana Balcony
350 sq ft in the Cabana wing with a private balcony overlooking the Hockney pool. Natural oak and charcoal palette with bronze mirrors. One step up from the Poolside room — you get height and a view rather than direct ground-level access.
1 KingCabana Garden
An intimate 350 sq ft retreat in the Cabana wing facing the garden rather than the pool directly. Mid-century furnishings in natural oak and charcoal, bronze mirrors, ebony floors. Steps from the pool without the direct foot traffic of the poolside rooms.
1 KingCabana Poolside
The entry point into the Cabana wing — 350 sq ft with direct connection to the David Hockney pool. Natural oak, charcoal tones, bronze mirrors, and ebony floors give it a genuine mid-century feel. Small but positioned exactly right if the pool is the point of the trip.
1 KingCabana Suite
The 750 sq ft Cabana Suite is the polished version of poolside living. A private balcony looks straight down at the Tropicana Pool, while a separate parlor with custom marble mosaics and a rain shower makes it feel genuinely residential. Good pick for longer stays.
1 KingDeluxe Room
The solid workhorse room in the Tower. About 350 sq ft, hardwood floors, rain shower, barn door dividers, and the full Yabu Pushelberg palette. Not large, but every square foot is used well. A good baseline for first-time guests.
1 KingJohnny Grant Apartment
Named for Hollywood's Honorary Mayor, this 2,100 sq ft residence has its own private elevator and a rooftop garden that counts as one of the better-kept secrets in the building. A six-seat bar, fully-equipped kitchen, and a study lined with 20th-century literary collections make it as functional as it is dramatic. Can host up to sixteen people for events.
1 KingLoft Suite
Around 550 sq ft of Yabu Pushelberg craft in the Tower. Hardwood floors, Spanish-inspired patterns, leather finishes, and signature barn doors. Compact but well-designed — the persimmon accents against the grey palette feel more intentional than forced.
1 KingMarilyn Monroe Suite
A loft-style cabana suite where Monroe herself lived during her early career. Classic Eames pieces, crisp white furnishings, and a wrap-around balcony with a daybed positioned directly above the Tropicana Pool. It's one of the most photographed rooms in the hotel for good reason.
1 KingOne Bedroom Suite
Tower suite with a canopy bed and thoughtfully curated living space. Barn doors adapt the room between evening retreat and entertaining space. Persimmon accents warm the grey palette throughout.
2 Double BedsRoosevelt Suite
Sits on the Tower's uppermost floors with Yabu Pushelberg's signature palette throughout — persimmon accents against sophisticated grey, Spanish-inspired patterns, and hand-selected leather furnishings. Barn doors let you convert the space from a private bedroom retreat to a proper entertaining room.
1 King + 1 Full Sofa BedSuperior Room
The most compact option in the Tower at 250-300 sq ft — cozy rather than spacious. King, queen, or two double bed configurations available. Spanish-inspired details, leather accents, persimmon touches against grey, hardwood floors. Functional and well-styled, just not roomy.
1 KingThe Gable Lombard Penthouse
The top-tier room in the house and worth every penny of the premium. A 20-foot vaulted ceiling carries an original 1920s mural overhead while you sit in a sunken living room with a full bar and state-of-the-art entertainment system. An 18th-century French tapestry conceals a modern theater screen. Two bedrooms, up to five guests, and the full weight of Hollywood history.
