Hotel Alexandria, Historic hotel in downtown Los Angeles, United States
The Alexandria Hotel stands as a massive 12-story structure at Spring and 5th Streets, featuring grand ballrooms and elegant architectural details throughout the building.
Built in 1906 by developers Albert Bilicke and Robert Arnold Rowan, the Alexandria Hotel served as Los Angeles's premier luxury accommodation until the Biltmore Hotel opened in 1923.
The Palm Court ballroom, designated as a Los Angeles historic-cultural landmark in 1971, remains a testament to the grand social gatherings of early 20th century California.
The building now functions as an apartment complex with both market rate and subsidized housing units, while maintaining its ballrooms for events and film productions.
Film productions frequently select the Alexandria Hotel's preserved early 1900s interiors as shooting locations, including movies such as Se7en and Water for Elephants.
