nightlife

While Hollywood & Highland never amounted to more than a bad mall, the Roosevelt and its star-frequented pool comes full-circle to epitomize the quintessential poolside hot spot. Located at the Roosevelt Hotel, Tropicana Bar brings a bit of St.Tropez and Nikki Beach to area nightlife along the historic pool usually well-stocked with local singles and occasional celebrity. The bar employs a Polynesian-meets-minimalist theme while accenting the historic elements of the location - most notably the Hockney-designed underwater mural.

Tips

You'll need to be a hotel guest or at least act like your name is on the guest-list to get through the door.

Last Word

Gone are the burger-eating bellies that exorcised everything sexy and chic from the location over the last 30 years, and in their place the sandal-wearing actresses and Hilton-types who epitomize the current barometer of Hollywood.
