At the heart of the action, the Roosevelt heaves with Hollywood lore: Shirley Temple learned to tap dance on the stairs off the lobby, Marilyn Monroe shot her first print ad by the pool (later decorated by David Hockney) and it's said that the ghost of actor Montgomery Clift can still be heard playing the bugle.
All rooms and suites come with cushy beds and super-plump pillows, large flat screens and bottled cocktails. Poolside rooms channel a modernist, Palm Springs vibe, while those in the main building mix contemporary and 1920s accents. The property also harbors a number of standout venues, including cocktail den Teddy's Bar, Public Kitchen & Bar and the Spare Room, complete with two-lane bowling alley. Parking is $45.
