Fodor's "Think hip bachelor pad when considering the Roosevelt." Full review

"A terrific casual restaurant is open 24 hours, and service is surprisingly good." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A stone’s throw away from Hollywood and Highland is this famous Hollywood hotel."
Rough Guide "The first hotel built for the movie greats in 1927. The place reeks of atmosphere, with boutique rooms, cabanas and suites, plus a jacuzzi, fitness room and swimming pool."
Time Out "After a 2003 restoration by designer Dodd Mitchell, this 1927 landmark, a beautiful example of Spanish colonial design, once more welcomed the A-listers who frequented it during Hollywood's heyday." Full review
Star Service "This may look laidback and loungey compared to the newer, neon-flavored W Hotel, but this place is the area's leader for trendsetters.

Gayot "Located... across from the Chinese Theater and just a block from the splashy Hollywood and Highland shopping complex, this 1927 building has undergone quite a renaissance."
BlackBook "Hollywood history not only haunts the place, this is also your best bet to see present stars throwing a pose."
