Located 1 minutes’ walk from Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, this Los Angeles, California hotel features modern rooms. An Olympic-size outdoor heated pool, 5 food and beverage options and a massage garden are on site.

Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the spacious guest rooms include a flat-screen TV. A minibar are also standard in every room at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Tower building rooms feature 100% Egyptian cotton linens, wood floors and high-end furnishings. Free Davines toiletries are provided. Plush bathrobes and silver finishes are featured in the en suite bathroom.

Staying in a traditional hotel room at The Hollywood Roosevelt offers a distinctly different experience from booking one of its famed cabanas, and the choice ultimately shapes the tone of your entire stay. A hotel room in the historic tower places you directly in the heart of the Roosevelt’s old-Hollywood soul. These rooms carry the personality of the building itself—high ceilings, vintage architectural details, textured décor, and the sense that movie stars once drifted through these same hallways. From many tower rooms, you get elevated views of Hollywood Boulevard, the neon glow of the TCL Chinese Theatre, or the buzzing city below, giving your stay a cinematic backdrop. The tower is also quieter and more private, ideal for travelers who want a refined, polished, classically glamorous stay.

By contrast, the cabana rooms wrap you in the Roosevelt’s carefree, resort-style energy. These are located directly around the Tropicana Pool—famous for its David Hockney mural—and they invite you into the hotel’s social heartbeat. Step outside and you’re essentially poolside, surrounded by sunshine, music, cocktails, and a lively daytime scene that extends effortlessly into the evening. The cabanas often have a breezy, modern-retro vibe, with easy access to loungers, DJs, and the kind of atmosphere that feels like a perpetual weekend. If you’re looking to mingle, people-watch, or enjoy a stay that blurs the line between hotel room and pool party HQ, the cabana experience is unmatched.

Ultimately, staying in a tower hotel room gives you the iconic, glamorous, quietly luxurious Roosevelt—perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone wanting a serene home base in the middle of Hollywood. Choosing a cabana room delivers a vibrant, immersive, social escape centered around sun, cocktails, and fun. Both are quintessentially Roosevelt, but each tells a completely different story depending on the Hollywood experience you want.

Tucked in a quiet corner of the hotel lobby, the Library Bar is an intimate, speakeasy-style cocktail lounge offering a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere for conversation and craft drinks. According to the hotel’s website, it accommodates around 20 guests in an ambiance of refined warmth—dim lighting, leather seating, and attention to detail in each beverage. The mixologists at the Library Bar treat each cocktail as a custom creation, beginning with asking guests about their preferred spirits and flavor profiles, then using seasonal local herbs, fruits and artisanal spirits to build bespoke drinks. It reopened in 2024 under the direction of master mixologist Michael Palazzo and emphasizes personalized service for the modern cocktail enthusiast.

Why it stands out: a secluded, upscale escape off busy Hollywood Blvd, ideal for craft-drink lovers who want something quieter and more tailored than a typical hotel bar.

Tip: Go when you have the bandwidth to chat with the bartender about your preferences—this place rewards the curious. The capacity is small, so it’s best to arrive early or call ahead.

Located on the mezzanine level of the hotel, The Spare Room merges cocktail-lounge elegance with playful vintage gaming, anchored by two restored bowling lanes and a collection of handcrafted board games. The décor evokes an old-world parlor, with wood paneling and a sense of gathering, yet the drink program is modern and creative. The Spare Room can accommodate up to 200 standing or 90 seated guests, making it suitable for events and social nights in addition to casual visits.

Why it stands out: It’s perfect for groups who want lively ambiance and a touch of retro fun (bowling/board games) combined with well-made cocktails. It leans more social and energetic compared to the Library Bar.

Tip: Ideal for late-night fun (8pm-2am hours typical), consider booking a lane or arriving with friends to take full advantage of the space.

The Cabana Suite at the Hollywood Roosevelt isn’t just a room—it’s a feeling. Tucked along the poolside, it blends Old Hollywood glamor with a relaxed, sun-drenched California ease. It’s the suite we return to again and again because it captures everything we love about this iconic hotel: a sense of privacy, a sense of place, and a sense of effortless cool that never tries too hard.

What makes the Cabana Suite stand out is the atmosphere. You step inside and immediately feel the mid-century warmth—wood accents, soft lighting, and an inviting layout that feels more like a chic apartment than a hotel room. The space opens naturally toward the pool, creating that dreamy indoor-outdoor rhythm that California does best. Morning coffee feels brighter by the water; late-night cocktails feel more intimate under the glow of the classic Roosevelt signage.

The suite is spacious enough to breathe but cozy enough to feel personal. The separate seating areas make it easy to unwind, whether it’s a slow morning lounging in robes or getting ready for a night out in Hollywood. And the proximity to the pool deck adds a subtle thrill—close enough to feel part of the energy, yet far enough away to enjoy quiet moments when you want them.

But perhaps the best part is the history beneath it all. The Hollywood Roosevelt is a legend, and staying in a Cabana Suite lets you feel like you’re living inside that story. It’s our favorite because it’s more than a stay—it’s an experience.
