Roosevelt Hotel

I've been crazy busy. This week we had friends in from out of town and right now is the one day break I get before my Mother in Law is here for a week. I know what you're thinking but I actually like my MIL. So it will be a good visit.

With all the cleaning prep work to be done for guests, then the clean up after they leave, then more cleaning for new guests I'm pretty exhausted. This post will be all I can manage to eek out until late next week.

While this round of guests were in town we did a ton of fun stuff, namely lunch at the Roosevelt Hotel. This is something I've wanted to do since I was about 12 or 13. It's reportedly haunted and there are loads of Hollywood tales that it was the scene of. It's not what I was expecting though. I always pictured something a little smaller and slightly rundown. It was renovated in 2005 and is super fancy and much bigger than I imagined.

It's big and rambling. The lobby is filled with beautiful dark leather furniture and a beautifully painted celling.

The tile work all over the hotel is exquisite. Super luxe, it was fancy then and is fancy now.

Up next on my Hollywood hotel list is the Chateau Marmont. I am super excited about this. This weekend I'll be hitting the flea market. I hope to report back with some good finds.
