Category: Famous Visitors

In 1906, the Alexandria Hotel became Los Angeles’s first, world-class hotel. However, its history is now largely forgotten or inaccurately portrayed in books and online websites. Most of these inaccuracies have to do with the famous people who visited (or did not visit) the Alexandria from 1906 to 1934.  Therefore, I am presenting a list of famous people who definitely were at the Alexandria Hotel. Check back often for updates!
