Unlock Hollywood’s Hidden Gem: A Luxe Rooftop Escape Bookable for Just 39,000 Marriott Points—But Will It Live Up to the Hype?

What’s in a name? The Hollywood Grande — newly minted, yet steeped in the legacy of its predecessor, the Thompson Hollywood — is an emerald jewel set smack dab in the heart of L.A.’s entertainment labyrinth. Imagine stepping back into a midcentury dream, where retro charm dances seamlessly with modern flair across 190 rooms sprawled over 11 stories. It’s not just a rooftop lounge or a pool; it’s a time capsule wrapped in terrazzo floors, sun-dappled greenery, and a bar where every sip tastes like an invitation to linger. Ever wondered if a hotel could be both a nod to the past and a beacon of present-day luxe? The Grande suggests it can — with a well-shaken cocktail in hand and a view of the Hollywood Hills that steals your breath at every glance.

The recently opened Hollywood Grande, which now occupies what was formerly the Thompson Hollywood, is set in the heart of Los Angeles’ entertainment district, with midcentury design touches that channel a bygone era. The hotel features 190 guest rooms, including 16 suites — along with a rooftop lounge and a pool — all set across 11 stories, the hotel shared with TPG.

Guests are welcomed by the trellis-covered entrance, which leads to a lobby complete with a custom terrazzo floor, warm wood tones and plenty of greenery. A terrazzo-topped bar will serve up coffee, cocktails and bites.

The midcentury modern-inspired rooms combine vintage design with contemporary touches thanks to terrazzo bathrooms, funky pendant lighting, rainfall showers, floor-to-ceiling windows and smart TVs. Travelers are treated to Salt & Stone amenities along with curated honor bars.

Head to the roof for a cocktail or locally sourced seafood and crudites paired with sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and the Hollywood Sign at Bar Lis and The Terrace at Bar Lis.

At night, the rooftop will host a mix of vintage and modern DJ sets (it has welcomed famous DJs like Diplo, Jamie Jones and Kaytranada in the past), while the pool will serve as the perfect place to unwind in the sun during the day.
