'Hood History...

Found online, here are a couple of random portraits of the Ambassador Hotel 'lady' water fountain, located on Wilshire Boulevard, with the Gaylord serving as the landmark backdrop. Originally, the fountain appeared as a nude, but when the RFK Community School campus replaced the Ambassador Hotel, she was given some clothing so as not to corrupt the students(!?!).

Exposing...

This is another amazing photo from the Halston ad campaign, shot at the Gaylord in 2017. The photo showcases the beautiful, original 1924 section we restored a few years back that had been previously built over with an ugly extension. Look at the ornate tile work on those steps and the french doors. Why would anyone want to build over and cover up such wonderful details!?! Today, we appreciate the Gaylord history.

Adding Up...

The accolades keep adding up from around the globe for our Lana's passion project, "The Sparkle," her short film. A number of Gaylord residents participated in the making of this film and Lana has worked tirelessly in promoting and getting it out there to be seen, so CONGRATS on the success! May it continue.

On a Clear Day...

Today, it is a clear day, one of our neighborhood hawks is sitting on it's perch on our rooftop 'G' and the temperature is in the high 80's. SoCal living at the G'lo (the Gaylord that is)!
