HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA
Welcome to Hollywood, California - the birthplace of cinema, as the world knows it, centers on the intersection of the famed Hollywood and Vine. Here in the 1920s, the first movie studios, radio broadcasts, and music businesses answered the dreams of new talent, creating the stars we still idolize and emulate - Monroe, Bogart and Chaplin all began their careers here. The Hollywood Walk of Fame, just outside the doors of the new W Hollywood, immortalized celebrities with its stars emblazoned on the ground, and is still hosting visitors today. The Golden Age of Hollywood introduced entertainment and glamour, film noir and comedy, big bands and theatrics to the world.
THINGS TO SEE IN HOLLYWOOD, CA
Located across the street from the famous Art Deco movie house, the original Pantages Theatre, which hosted the Academy Awards in the early 1950s, is one of the few remaining buildings from the area's heyday. Also within reach is the landmark Capitol Records Tower, where the record business was pioneered in the 1940s. Now, almost one hundred years since Hollywood glamour and the silver screen began, Hollywood and Vine are in the midst of a total rebirth and redevelopment with W Hollywood in the spotlight, a Second Golden Age. In addition to multiple shopping and entertainment projects planned to rejuvenate this historic area, W Hollywood hotel has reinvigorated the famed cross-streets, bringing back Hollywood glamour, with a new twist. In keeping with its storied past, a reminder of the importance of the hotel's location is within view: the famed Hollywood sign.
