I use to stay at this hotel a lot when I was in Hollywood in the 90s and 00s. Going to Viper Room, Whiskey Go Go, Troubadour and other clubs and then crawling back to this hotel for some late night snacks, drinks and people watching. This is where I motor boated Keanu Reeves. Shared a conversation with Alicia Silverstone over a bathroom stall door. Chatted with Sara Gilbert's girlfriend (wife?) about periods. Sean Bean bummed cigarettes off me one night. Olivier Martinez told me his dog only follows commands in French.
Great memories and lots of fun times. And the location was perfect, the staff service was excellent (even for a non-celeb like me) and the food/atmosphere was top notch. So bummed if they make this members only, even if it's been years since I've stayed there.
