"Everyone lived at the Garden of Allah Hotel—everyone, that is, who was part of the Hollywood elite in the old days when the town still managed to be wacky in the grand manner." The property is now home to a shopping center; its fate reportedly inspired the Joni Mitchell lyric from “Big Yellow Taxi”: “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

an advertisement for the garden of old hollywood

Advertisement for the Garden of Alla(h) Hotel, Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles in Film Spectator magazine, June 11, 1927

For most of its 32 years, the “Allah” in "Garden of Allah Hotel" was spelled with an “h” but when the hotel opened, it was known as the Garden of Alla because the original owner was Alla Nazimova. That spelling didn’t last long so it’s rare to come across an advertisement using the original spelling. This ad comes from the June 11, 1927 of “Film Spectator” magazine, and interestingly it features the swimming pool around which many an outrageous cocktail party unfolded.
