Hollywood Hotel with Our Favorite Canine

May 30, 2017 by Laura Lohr 1 Comment

Spread the love
Me and my little pug, Jack. We loved our stay at the Hollywood Hotel!

We often go to Hollywood and play the part of tourists. As lifelong residents of California, we’ve been throughout Los Angeles and Hollywood, but we never tire of our adventures! My dad is a member of the world famous Magic Castle, which has afforded us many enjoyable adventures to Hollywood over the years. Typically, we get a pet sitter or board our pets. This time, we tried something new! We got to visit the Hollywood Hotel, which is a pet-friendly hotel in Hollywood.

The Hollywood Hotel didn’t miss a detail! Food bowls, treats, waste bags, bed, plush toy for the pug!

I was nervous about the prospects of bringing a pet with us on a trip. We’d never done it before and Jack the pug was a new addition to our family, which made me a little uneasy. This was a fantastic experience, however—one that I would do again and again! The Hollywood Hotel pulled out all the stops to make our trip with our favorite pug the most comfortable and enjoyable experience!

When we arrived at their beautiful lobby at the Hollywood Hotel, we knew it was going to be a luxurious and pleasurable stay.. The staff were friendly and quickly got us checked in. They gave us a tour of the beautiful grounds and we learned a bit about the history of this historic hotel, built in 1903. I had no idea how rich the history of the hotel was or the famous guests who have stayed, such as: Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Aidan Quinn, Jessica Biel, to John Krasinski and BJ Novak and Jason Ritter. The hotel has a comedy club downstairs, where these celebrities have performed during open mic nights! Pretty cool! Rudolph Valentino lived in the hotel, in room 264. The Hollywood hotel is where he met his wife Jean Acker and where they spent their honeymoon!

The omelet bar was a wonderful surprise for our breakfast! I got an omelet with the works and it was amazing!
In addition to a full waffle and omelet station, there’s a continental breakfast, too!

The Hollywood Hotel had all the amenities we could have asked for! We had a delicious hot breakfast buffet downstairs in their lovely cafe. They had a chef on duty to cook us a tasty omelet of our choice of ingredients. I chose bacon, cheese, onions, and bell pepper. Mr. Bear had an omelet with everything. In addition to their cafe, they have a lounge with nighttime entertainment and a full bar, where Mr. Bear enjoyed a cocktail before we hit the town!

The spacious pool area was like a little oasis! It was hard to believe we were in the center of Hollywood on this private poolside area!

We enjoyed a dip in the pool and followed it up with a 20-minute sauna session. The hotel is just clean and beautifully well-maintained. The bed was so comfortable and the recently renovated hotel had a very modern feel, although they were very thoughtful about preserving some of its most charming historic charms.

We opted for the, “Pamper your Pet” package, which gave us all we needed for Captain Jack Sparrow, our one-eyed pug! Captain Jack was right at home! They provided us with: a plush and comfortable pet bed, a cute plush toy/stuffed animal, food and water bowls, dog treats, and pet waste bags. I was so grateful for that last one! I had forgotten to grab ours from home before we left!

Our pampered pooch was all tuckered out from the festivities and things to do at the Hollywood Hotel!
This is the luxurious bedroom and comfortable beds we slept in.

We found out that in true Hollywood form, you can make anything happen! Even if you don’t have a pet of your own, the Hollywood Hotel will provide you with a “Puppy Party” package! For an extra fee, you can have the pups come to you to cuddle! How much fun! It was $50 extra for the Pamper your Pet package, which was a steal for us! We usually have a pet sitter or board our pooches when we’re out of town. It was nice to have them with us and know they were well taken care of.

There were plenty of places to lounge around. Jack and Mr. Bear decided to hang out near the pool, in the shade, while I swam some laps.

The Hollywood Hotel is central to everything! The day we arrived, I realized I had forgotten my swimsuit. I saw the inviting pool and decided I must not miss a dip! The staff informed me that West Hollywood Gateway was just up the block. Thankfully, the shopping is nearby and I was able to get myself a new bathing suit and do a little shopping! SCORE! We took a taxi to the Magic Castle and even with Hollywood traffic, we were there in 10 minutes! The following day, we took a beautiful drive up to the Griffith Observatory and walked around at Griffith Park. It’s a stunning place to walk with your family and canine friends! We spent about an hour exploring before we trekked back home.

Here, Jack and I are standing in front of the Route 66 sign, in front of the Hollywood Hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay at the 130 room historic Hollywood Hotel. We know that we’ll stay again and make sure to remember our bathing suits, but if we don’t, we know that shopping is nearby. It’s a very reasonably priced hotel, especially for the Los Angeles/Hollywood area. It was great to be close to all the amenities we’ve come to enjoy in Hollywood. It was a great place to stay and met all of our needs! How great to be able to include our furry friends on our vacation!

2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm 2020 was weird. There were good times and bad. I'm glad that we made it through. I am looking forward to starting fresh in 2021. I have a lot of #goals for #2021. Many are recycled from last year's #visionboard, but that's okay. I have my canceled #marathon coming up in May. I'll finally apply to #lawschool and follow my dreams, wherever they take me.  Happy new year!

For Christmas, hubby's car needed to be replaced. We bought a #minicooper last week and he's over the moon. The green is amazing! I love how it stands out! He met me at the finish to drive me back to the start. What a fun car!

Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. Time is doing things to my face, and that's okay. I finally got my hair done for the first time in 2020. I had previously got a covid cut in the backyard several months back, but this was the first time having a professional do my hair ALL. YEAR. I felt so good, I came home and put my pajamas on. 😂 It's been a really hard year, but I have grown so much this year and I'm not just talking about my pants size. 😂 Life is good.

This is where it all started. This was where our f This is where it all started. This was where our first date happened. More than a quarter of a century ago, Eric asked me on a date and took me to the restaurant on the end of this pier. As it happened, my mom ended up joining us. This was a fortuitous twist, as Eric forgot his wallet, and I didn't have any money, as a starving college student.

I started my 5 mile run at that same pier. I smiled to myself, remembering simpler times that, at the time, didn't seem so simple. I breathed in the fresh air and hung on to these memories. I am so grateful for the blind date that worked out to be our love story.

It's beginning to look more like Christmas and my running soul is enjoying every single sighting of Christmas joy. It seems like there's a lot of people that are hurting right now, in the community. We're going to have to work together to spread joy this year and help fill those needs that families have this year. How can I be of service today?
