The Hollywood Roosevelt carries a heavy load of ghost stories, the earliest statuettes and the long shadow of Marilyn Monroe.
The Hollywood Roosevelt is one of those places where cinematic history and corridor tales go hand in hand. Human nature leads us to believe in or create myths around any old hotel, but this one accumulates a few too many anecdotes to simply brush them aside.
The building opened in Los Angeles in May 1927. It was the venue for the very first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929, back when the whole affair lasted barely fifteen minutes and nobody watched it on the telly. But what keeps the establishment firmly on the radar of mystery isn't the dinner jackets of that era.
Marilyn and suite 1200
Marilyn Monroe lived in this hotel during the early stages of her modelling career, back when she was still called Norma Jeane. Staff and guests claim that her presence still lingers around the place. The most repeated legend speaks of a mirror that belonged to her room, suite 1200, which now hangs in the lobby. In that glass, a blonde figure is supposedly reflected who doesn't match any of the people walking past.
There are also those who swear they have seen Montgomery Clift himself playing the trumpet in room 928, where the actor stayed during the filming of From Here to Eternity. These are the typical bits of gossip from a seasoned hotel that the receptionists greet with a smile and a hefty bill.
Would you lot sleep in a room with a reputation for having invisible tenants?
