Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
Posted On April 26, 2011
The legendary venue of the first Academy awards, the stands as the bright beacon of the Hollywood renaissance on the Hollywood Boulevard. Reintroducing the glamour on the Boulevard, this Thompson property today vibrates with the lavishness of its legendary past in the middle of Hollywood, CA. It goes without saying that this has been the luxury holiday home of several Hollywood stars such as Bruce Willis, Mary Pickford, and Montgomery Clift.
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is located by the side of the famous Walk of Fame and is quite close to the Highland Center of entertainment and shopping as well as the Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Surprisingly, the hotel is said to be haunted by two star ghosts: Montgomery Clift in 928 suite from where loud noises are often heard and Marilyn Monroe whose spirit is seen in his poolside suite’s mirror now besides the lift on the lower level.
