So a very good friend, Shawn Antonio, had a Christmas party at the W Hollywood and It was very cool for his first annual Christmas event. I met some great people and had a few cocktails in the process. I didn’t stay super late as I had been driving all day and was just downright tired.
Introductions and laughter...
I figured since I was going to be there, I would stay in Hollywood for the night and I chose the Roosevelt and I am not sorry for one minute that i did. The hotel has a lot of history and a lot of character associated with it. Supposedly Marilyn Monroe’s ghost resides here, but it could just be speculation. There are numerous restaurants and great night clubs at the Roosevelt, unfortunately because I was there for such a brief time, I wasn’t able to sample all of them. The front desk and bell staff are super friendly and get the idea of customer service.
I do want to focus on the rooms, specifically, my room. I was given an upgraded deluxe room since they couldn’t find my reservation. The room is very bright and I truly enjoyed the color scheme. The beds may be the most comfortable that I have ever slept on. The pillows were the perfect firmness and the I woke up at 6:30 without the aid of an alarm.
The thing that stood out about my room and I will always remember is the shower. It is a very large fountain head directly above you, but what i really like is the volume of water that runs when you turn the faucet on. It was like being under a waterfall and when you wake up in the morning, nothing feels better than a hot shower that douses you completely.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to the LA area. it is a bit pricey, but I think you will enjoy the accommodations. Make sure to check out all the bars, including the rooftop lounge. Book your rooms in advance as they tend to book up fast on the weekends. You will have fun, love the beds, the shower and the employees. It may be the just the break you need, all the while making you feel like a celebrity.
Here are some pics of my room:
Until next time…
