Sleep like a Star at The Hollywood Roosevelt
Indulge
in the glamour of classic
Hollywood in the heart of Los Angeles. Not only was
the
Hollywood Roosevelt the very first host hotel
to host the Academy Awards, it has a storied legacy among Hollywood’s elite and
most recognisable talent since its opening in 1927. From the infamous affair
between Clarke Gable and Carole Lombard in the penthouse, to a two-year stay by
Marilyn Monroe, this hotel is a must-visit Hollywood icon.
Go on Location
The
Millenium Biltmore Hotel has not only
hosted the Academy Awards ceremony 8 times, it has also been the theatre
for many notable movies and TV shows. Cruel
Intention, Ghostbusters,
Glee and the
classic 80s movies Splash
have all used the iconic LA hotel as a backdrop for their scenes.
Universal Studios Hollywood, which is celebrating the 60th
anniversary of their famous tour this year, has shot many iconic movies
including Jurassic Park,
How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Back to the Future, The Truman Show,
Psycho, and many more.
Spanning more than 4,300 acres,
Griffith Park is the 11th-largest
municipally owned park in the U.S. After a Hollywood Hills party,
Sebastian and Mia from La
La Land discover a spectacular view of the San Fernando
Valley, where they perform the showstopper “A Lovely Night.” The sequence
was filmed in one take at "Cathy's Corner" off Mt. Hollywood
Drive.
In A Star is
Born, Ally is staying at
Chateau Marmont (8221 Sunset Blvd, Los
Angeles 90046), the faux European castle at the easternmost boundary of
the legendary Sunset Strip, which is generally where people stare at
Sunset Strip billboards in the movies (see Myra Breckinridge, The Doors,
etc.).
Making History
Music is power and at the
GRAMMY Museum you can experience that
power first-hand through four floors of exciting interactive exhibits in
vibrant downtown Los Angeles. ‘Hip-Hop America: The Mixtape Exhibit’ is a
new special exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Hip
Hop. The 5,000-sq ft space showcases expansive exhibits on hip-hop music,
dance, graffiti, fashion, business, activism, and history.
The
Academy Museum of Motion Pictures offers
a fastidiously curated and always timely calendar of exhibitions, public
programs, and screenings of significant films. The last surviving model
shark created for Steven Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster Jaws,
"Bruce" is just one of the priceless movie artifacts on view.
Cinephiles will find something to love around every corner, with a wide
range of rotating exhibitions taking a deep-dive into directors, films and
movie-making techniques.
