Palm Court (Alexandria Hotel)

The Palm Court was a renowned interior space within the Alexandria Hotel in Los Angeles, California. This grand, light-filled atrium served as a central gathering place within the hotel and was noted for its soaring palm trees, intricate tile work, and elegant furnishings. It was a hallmark of the hotel's opulent Beaux-Arts style, which contributed to the Alexandria's popularity with celebrities, dignitaries, and affluent travelers during its heyday in the early to mid-20th century. The Palm Court hosted numerous social events, including afternoon teas, receptions, and galas. The space's architectural beauty and connection to Hollywood's golden age made it a popular filming location and a symbol of Los Angeles's glamorous past. The Alexandria Hotel, and consequently the Palm Court, experienced a decline in later years, but preservation efforts have sought to restore the space to its former grandeur.
