The Glen-Holly Hotel was a hotel built in the area of southern California that would later become Hollywood in 1895. [2] It was located just north of Prospect Avenue, now Hollywood Boulevard, on Ivar Avenue at Yucca Street. [3]
The Glen-Holly Hotel was the second hotel constructed in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles County (Sackett Hotel was the first). It was built by Joakim Berg, a noted artist of the 1890s in the region. At the hotel's opening, it had twenty rooms and one bath. A horse carriage called a tallyho took guests from downtown Los Angeles to the hotel. [3]
The hotel's original owner, Charles M. Pierce, became operator of the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad's Balloon Route in 1904. The hotel, a stop on the line that went from downtown Los Angeles to West Los Angeles and the west side beaches, was used by the route as lunch stop. [3] [4]
D. L. Allen later took over management of the Glen-Holly Hotel, and added a billiard hall, bowling alley, and livery service. [3] [5]
The hotel, a landmark of the area, was later demolished. [3]
