Gaw, owners of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, have once again
taken over the management reigns in order to further preserve the truly
unique spirit of the hotel and give the undivided attention that only an
in-house, independent management company may provide. The newly launched
website for the historic hotel is: www.thehollywoodroosevelt.com.

Chang and Gaw appointed longtime hotel collaborator Brett Blass as their
Chief Operating Officer to lead the repositioning efforts of the newly
renovated iconic property and their new management company. “The Hollywood
Roosevelt’s reputation as an iconic, one-of-a-kind lifestyle hotel has
been forged with distinction in Hollywood’s history,” said Blass, “It’s
an exciting time for the entire hotel team and for Los Angeles – our stunning
guest room renovation celebrates this landmark hotel’s character, charm
and Hollywood roots while making us all very enthusiastic for the future
ahead.”
The
iconic boutique hotel has recently undergone a $25 million room renovation,
led by internationally renowned design firm Yabu Pushelberg. With
a palette showcasing subtle textures, beautiful leathers, and soft grey
tones with persimmon-red accents, the new design maintains the integrity
of the hotel’s Spanish Colonial roots, but with a modern twist. Under the
new management direction, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel will continue to
maintain the individuality that has allowed it to forge a distinctive place
in Hollywood history for nearly 90 years, while tastefully revitalizing
its storied past.
The
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel has long been a meeting spot for Hollywood elite
and entertainment industry figures. Spaces within the hotel such as the
Tropicana
Cafe and the Library Bar draw creatives for its intimate and
picturesque surroundings- a welcome respite from the bustling Hollywood
neighborhood. The Hollywood Roosevelt exudes the charm and glamour of a
bygone era through its other spaces as well: from the prohibition-era style
cocktail lounge and hand-crafted bowling alley the Spare Room; to
famed Hollywood hot spot, Teddy’s; to the incredible views from
its iconic Rooftop; and including one of Hollywood’s most cherished
oases: the Tropicana Pool, with its mass of palm trees and the renowned
David
Hockney pool – a celebrated artistic and architectural masterpiece.
The
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is now a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts
Lifestyle Collection, which represents premiere global properties.
