LOS ANGELES—David Chang and Goodwin Gaw, owners of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, have once again taken over the management reigns in order to further preserve the spirit of the hotel.
Chang and Gaw appointed longtime hotel collaborator Brett Blass as their chief operating officer to lead the repositioning efforts of the newly renovated property and their new management company. “The Hollywood Roosevelt’s reputation as an iconic, one-of-a-kind lifestyle hotel has been forged with distinction in Hollywood’s history,” said Blass, “It’s an exciting time for the entire hotel team and for Los Angeles — our stunning guest room renovation celebrates this landmark hotel’s character, charm, and Hollywood roots while making us all very enthusiastic for the future ahead.”
The boutique hotel has recently undergone a $25 million room renovation, led by design firm Yabu Pushelberg. With a palette showcasing subtle textures, leathers, and soft grey tones with persimmon-red accents, the new design maintains the integrity of the hotel’s Spanish Colonial roots, but with a modern twist.
Spaces within the hotel such as the Tropicana Cafe and the Library Bar draw creatives for its intimate surroundings. The Hollywood Roosevelt captures a bygone era through its other spaces as well: from the prohibition-era style cocktail lounge and hand-crafted bowling alley the Spare Room; to Hollywood hot spot, Teddy’s; to the views from its Rooftop; and the Tropicana Pool, with its mass of palm trees and the David Hockney pool.
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is now a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Lifestyle Collection.
