The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Gets Jazzed About Brunch
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel has a long and checkered history that well pre-dates today’s celebrity tantrums and “Super Sweet 16” parties. As a way of hearkening back to that golden-hued heyday, the hotel has started offering a new ”Jazz Brunch” on Sundays from 11:00am-3:00pm.
Since the special brunch starts at $18 per person, it’s actually a pretty good deal, especially for a Thompson Hotel, and especially considering that overnight parking will run you around $30, and the standard rate for a stay at the hotel starts at $225 a night.
If you’re anything like us, you’re naturally dubious about any meal that is accompanied by live music. What is this, the shoe department of Nordstrom’s? But we checked up on it, and here’s the scoop.

The W Hollywood Gets Pushed Back To January 15th; Will Still Be Paparazzi Central
On our way back home from Los Feliz last night, we were cruising down Hollywood Boulevard and noticed a giant gleaming W sign in the distance. It could only mean one thing--W Hollywood Hotel and Residences is getting close to opening.
The official opening date is not until January 15, 2010 (pushed back from December 3 and reservations don't start until January 28) but the hotel is nearing completion, at least on the exterior.
We took some late-night shots for you which you can peruse in our gallery here. The place is going to be massive, especially since there are residences attached to the building and a Red Line metro stop that runs through the building.
The location is proper Hollywood on Hollywood Boulevard, between Vine and Argyle with the Pantages Theater directly across the street with plenty of nightclubs as well as the Hollywood and Highland complex within walking distance.

A 'Killer' Night Out At The Hollywood Heights Hotel
Warning: excessive use of Killers song titles ahead!
You might not be cool enough to score passes backstage at The Killers’ September 16th show at the Hollywood Bowl, but at least you can head to the Stoli Vodka-hosted after party at the Hideout at the Hollywood Heights Hotel.
"Somebody Told Me" that from 10:00pm to midnight, wired concertgoers can avoid the post-show traffic and retire to the nearby (within walking distance!) Hollywood Heights Hotel, where they can enjoy specialty “Killer” cocktails featuring Stoli Vodka (of course) while listening to The Killers’ albums.

Construction Has Begun on Drai's Nightclub at The W Hollywood
Don't worry. This is just a construction shot of Drai's. It's not the finished product.
As we eagerly await the opening of The W Hollywood on December 3, we've got word that construction on the hotel's nightclub, Drai's Hollywood--a spin-off of the legendary Las Vegas club--has begun. The club's construction firm, R.D. Olson sent us this press release with some detes:

W Hollywood Will Have Fancy French Brasserie On Site
The W Hollywood is not expected to open until December 3 but the hotel has already lined up its fancy French Brasserie, according to Eater LA. The street-level indoor/outdoor restaurant will be called Delphine Brasserie.
Operated by Innovative Dining Group (Sushi Roku, Katana, BOA) and designed by NY-based Mark Zeff, Delphine will epitomize a Southern France brasserie such as those located along the Côte d'Azur.

Hollywood Heights Hotel Invites Diners to Hideout
Yesterday we told you all about the changes at the Hollywood Heights Hotel, and today we’ll be dishing, so to speak, on the meal we had at the new restaurant there, The Hideout.
The Hideout recently opened on June 24, after the renovation of the hotel was almost complete, and the new menu is skewed towards updated comfort food. That means dishes like creamy four-cheese mac ’n cheese, Maryland crab cakes with cole slaw, a huge rib-eye with mushrooms and fries, and starters like seared ahi tuna with avocado and arugula on house-made tortillas.
The menu might not be the most risqué in town, but for this part of Hollywood, the reasonable prices are a pretty good deal, the food is fresh, and the portions are generous.

Hollywood Heights Hotel Has Amped Up the Hollywood Factor
If you’ve driven through the Cahuenga Pass on your way to or from the Hollywood Bowl (or just to get on the 101) lately, you might have noticed some changes at the Hollywood Heights Hotel, starting with a bright coat of sunny yellow paint on the façade.
Recently taken over by the Interstate Hotels and Resorts Group, the hotel is completing a major renovation, and soon all 160 guest rooms will be accented with some nostalgic Hollywood décor like iconic movie posters and old black-and-white publicity shots of stars from Tinseltown’s golden age, as well as a few more modern amenities. Today’s visitors can enjoy LCD flatscreen TV’s, cushy new linens, restyled bathrooms, FACES Stockholm bath amenities, and complimentary WiFi. The pool area will also be spiffed up as the hotel installs new deck chairs and cabanas to give it more of a resort feel.

Charlie Chaplin's House is Now a Luxe Hotel Where Celebs Hook Up
Whoa. Okay, so let's get this out of the way first: apparently Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson — yes, the Twilight costars — hooked up the other night. X17 is reporting that their photogs caught the vampirey duo eating after the MTV Movie Awards (riveting, really) and then they booked themselves into a "private chateau" at a hotel — from which they emerged at noon looking a little bit frazzled and walk-of-shame-y. Now people are saying they're dating. Or hooking up, at least.
Regardless, what's important here is this: the hotel R-Patz and Kristen checked into was The Charlie, a luxe hotel made up of 14 bungalows in West Hollywood, which was once the site of Charlie Chaplin's house. Cool, right? How come we'd never heard about this place before?

Lure Dad to Sunset Marquis' Spa With the Promise of Post-Facial Food
Your dad may have been the dude who taught you how to be manly, but that doesn’t mean the grizzled old guy can’t enjoy a little pampering care of the Sunset Marquis this Father’s Day.
For dad’s special day (that’s Sunday, June 21st this year for all you inconsiderate kids who haven’t looked it up yet), the hotel’s restaurant, the unoriginally-named RESTAURANT (seriously), is hosting a special brunch from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm featuring seasonal ingredients “spun into flavorful dishes” courtesy of five-diamond Chef Guillaume Burlion. The buffet includes appetizers, salads, carving and omelette/pasta stations, desserts and a glass of champagne for the grand total of $55 for adults and $15 for kids, though children under 6 eat free.
Want to give your old man something to smooth out the wrinkles you put on his face during your daredevil teen years? Treat him to a special spa facial treatment any day from June 5th-31st, and the hotel will include a glass of champagne and an appetizer at RESTAURANT after the signature “Hydrate and Replenish Facial.”
Sure beats a polka-dot necktie...and we all know food is the way to a man's heart (and may just make him a little less hesitant to go for that facial).

When Your Prom is Held at Hollywood Roosevelt, It Makes Headlines
If your prom was held at The Hollywood Roosevelt, you'd think it would end up being kinda...oh, we don't know: West-Coast-Gossip-Girl-swank. A place that is known as a playground for celebs — a.k.a. the "popular kids" of the adult set — has gotta be kind of an intimidating setting for kids, no? And prom is kind of insanely intimidating as it is, right? Wouldn't you think that some horror stories would come outta a prom held at the Roosevelt?
Well: not the case. Quite the opposite, actually: the result was one of the most heartwarming prom stories ever. When the Fairfax High School prom was held there on Saturday night, an openly gay teen, Sergio Garcia, was crowned prom queen "in a campaign that began as a stunt but ended up spurring discussion on the campus about gender roles and popularity."

Wollywood Gets A Little Help From Depeche Mode
The W Hollywood won't be opening until November but thanks to Depeche Mode, the upcoming hotel will be the backdrop for a free concert that the band is holding this Thursday for the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show. The LA Times reports:
Concert planners say the event is designed to both promote the band's new "Sounds of the Universe" album and world tour as well as the "return of Golden Age excitement and lifestyle" to Hollywood with the new W Hotel. The $350-million development, scheduled for completion this fall, includes a 305-room hotel and 143 adjoining luxury condominiums that will come with hotel concierge service.
Sadly, all the free tix to the concert are gone but you can still get a chance to attend by listening to KROQ-FM (106.7) for chances to win tickets. Also, Kimmel's in-studio audience at the nearby El Capitan Entertainment Center will be able to attend.

Would You Fork Over $35 for a Burger at Andaz WeHo?
The new, swanky Andaz West Hollywood — the first US property from the Andaz chain — used to be the old Riot Hyatt. Accordingly, the bar and restaurant inside the hotel is called RH (R for Riot, H for Hyatt, yes) and the LA Times recently went to check the place out.
Now, let us take a moment to first mention one thing: rooms at the Andaz are down to $169. Does that necessarily mean you'll be paying reasonable prices for the grub and cocktails at RH? No, no it doesn't. Burgers here will run you a riot-inducing $35.
