The Hotel Roosevelt is a historic Spanish style hotel located at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Named for Theodore Roosevelt and financed by a group including Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Mary Pickford and Louis B. Mayer, it first opened its doors on May 15, 1927.

The banquet and presentation of the 1st Academy Awards in 1929 was held at the hotel, although it was moved in subsequent years. Currently, the hotel is still in operation.

A recent renovation has made the hotel and its Tropicana poolside bar and club called Teddy's a Hollywood hotspot, where the latest young stars go to party. Marilyn Monroe was a resident at the Hollywood Roosevelt for two years when her modeling career took off. Her first magazine shoot was taken on the diving board on the pool which was recently removed. Monroe stayed in Cabana 226 which over looked the pool side. A mirror which once hung in her room is now in the lobby and is thought to be haunted by her spirit. A number of people also claim to have seen her ghost dancing in the ballroom of the hotel. The hotel's pool contains a mural painted by David Hockney.
