Los Angeles Athletic Club - View this location on map  For those more interested in civic history than film history, the Athletic Club supplies it by the bucketful. It was started as the first private club in LA by men with names like Lankershim and Downey, and still continues as the type of place that tries to enforce a dress code. Kinda cute. The hotel rooms are open to the public. www.gridskipper.com 431 W 7th St , Los Angeles, CA Hotel |
