Hotel Café

Hotel Café is a music venue on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood featuring a stage with dining tables positioned directly in front of it. The bar runs along a hallway area with raised seating, allowing guests different vantage points from the entrance through to the service area.

The venue started as a small coffee shop and was transformed into a music club in 2000, later expanding through neighboring buildings in 2004. This growth allowed it to establish itself as a destination for live performances.

The venue serves as a gathering place where singers perform in close proximity to audiences, creating moments of direct connection between artist and listener. Visitors sit near the stage and experience live music in a format that feels personal and immediate.

The venue hosts nightly performances with full bar service and should be approached with awareness of parking constraints in the immediate area. The surrounding neighborhood is densely developed, so arriving early or using public transportation is advisable.

A music supervisor discovered several artists performing at this venue who later appeared in a well-known television series. This connection shows how such spaces can serve as a launching point for musicians into larger productions.
