The Roosevelt is Hollywood's only historic hotel still in operation today. It hosted the first ever Academy Awards in 1929 and has seen throngs of people - including celebrities galore - pass through its doors. The hotel has even been featured in a few films and Shirley Temple took her first tap-dancing lesson on the tiled stairway! As if that's not enough, Montgomery Clift and Marilyn Monroe are reputed to haunt the joint - proof this place is too good to leave!

AVOID IF YOU VALUE YOUR CAR

We came to L.A. to purchase a car, which we did and drove it off the car lot straight to The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, partly because we appreciated that they offer valet parking.

We came to L.A. to purchase a car, which we did and drove it off the car lot straight to The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, partly because we appreciated that they offer valet parking. We assumed (especially at $75 paid-parking per night, plus tip) that this would mean our new car would be in better hands than if we had parked at another hotel with regular parking. Unfortunately, we were wrong. We got the car back Saturday morning with damage and cracks to the rear bumper, paint scraped off the door handle, a bent out of shape and scraped door bumper, and a damaged front bumper. The valet attendants never said anything to acknowledge it. However, we have the pics of it in perfect condition beforehand, and the pics directly following. We are understandably upset (pretty furious, actually) and this obviously tainted our entire hotel stay, making us caution others to avoid it. We are waiting to hear how the hotel and valet service plan to fix the car and make this right.

An Oasis in the midst of Hollywood
Jul 6, 2025Amanda MConnecticut
This oasis takes its guests back in time, with calming spaces and elegance. The staff is friendly and attentive with great food and cocktails. Pool has a nice vibe, with friendly staff to greet you. A must stay if you are on a Hollywood getaway!
Wouldn’t Recommend
Jul 5, 2025Morgan VCorpus Christi, Texas
Would not recommend. For the price you would think the staff would be more hospitable. They were rude and unhelpful, AC in room was broken. Front desk did not care when we brought it to their attention.

Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of a tour across the USA. It was a nice way to end our trip at this magnificent nostalgic hotel. What made it special was all the in house entertainment that the hotel provides . On Sunday night my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the magic show in the library bar. This was an extra $32 per person but it was very entertaining and well worth the money and the beauty is when the show is over you have a 2 minute walk to your room. All the staff go above and beyond normal service but I would like to say a special thanks to Frances (the housekeeping supervisor) who also gave us a sneak peek look at the penthouse suites. The swimming pool is a nice place to relax and spend the afternoon too.

Dustin and Falcon were both wonderful to communicate with. I always come here but this was my first time staying here and I would definitely do it again.
