Within Los Angeles is located historic Culver City. The heart of which is the Culver City Hotel. Located directly next to the old movie studios. Each guest room is filled with antiques. Entering the lobby you may take a look back into the past with the high ceilings, tall weeping ferns and contempory furnishings. Off to one side is the bar and lounge area. This also serves as a breakfast area in the mornings.
The tables and chairs are placed around the area with
the backs of the chairs custom made to look like the old movie cameras.
The one stately old elevator may take you up to your
room, the history that it has seen ! Almost everything you see in
the hotel will transport you back in time. It is a lovely presentation
of an early hotel, restored, yet kept its original feel.
The city has built around it a number of fine restaurants.
"Fords Station" - owner and chef is the son of actor Harrison Ford.
Nearby are other restaurants and upscale boutiques.
The movie theater is just a few steps away from the hotel.
The area has the feel of a small city with in a city.
Its a neighborhood. The people here take pride in what they
have.
A nice clean and respected neighborhood.
As their are no buildings next to the old hotel it seems
to stand alone, a reminder of past days and a monument to its era.
Once owned by actor John Wayne and lived in by many of
the Hollywood stars. It was also the hotel where the famous Wizard
of Oz Munchkins stayed during the filming of that movie. The studio
thought they could save money and put five or six of the little people
on one room. This turned out to be a large mistake for the studio.
See photo's, pictures of the rooms, and more information
about this lovely Hotel and the Culver City area.
We recommend this hotel. The staff is friendly
and they make you feel at home. We had a wonderful stay and plan to go
back as soon as possible.
Staff member Kevin may even play the vintage grand
piano while you have your morning coffee.
