    Super famous LA spot where Judy Garland and the rest of the cast used to grab drinks while filming The Wizard of Oz down the road. Stop in for a cocktail and enjoy. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Close to the original MGM studios, this still elegant brick hotel in downtown Culver City was the part-time home of Keaton, Fairbanks and Garbo. Laurel and Hardy shot here, as did the little Rascals.

    Might be expensive, but it is totally worth it. Beds are really comfortable. Staff are so friendly and will help you with anything you need.

    The high ceilings and old-school ambience of their bar make this a fantastic place to go in downtown Culver City. -Tressa Williams, Launch My Line

    This is a really cool place...old, historical...lots of character. That means the fitness room is sort of a joke - a treadmill and a bike with some dumbells. Still a nice place though.

    Culver City is in its Renaissance. This is one of its sparkling little gems for a cocktail rendezvous! A fantastic history follows this place~see if you can get the walls to talk & tell some secrets!

    The downstairs can get a little noisy and busy but the rooms are charming and their outdoor patio is beautiful.

    Make sure you don't sit right behind the band playing. It's not ideal when you're trying to socialize. So, find the right table.

    Cool interior but steak was spendy, not cooked as ordered and not flavorful or interesting. Beer was also overpriced and served in smallish flutes. Service horrendously slow and inattentive.
