History

That same year, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre – on what would later become the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame – opened. The nearby movie palace soon became the de facto host of high-profile Hollywood film premieres and such prestigious events as the Academy Awards.

It’s no wonder, then, that over the years so many musicians, actors, creatives and entertainers have called The James of Hollywood home – including Robert Vaughn, Clara Blandick, Aubrey Scotto, Addie McPhail, Ernest (Ernie) Adams, William Edmunds and Matthew Boulton.

1830 N Cherokee Avenue also has served as the favorite hangout for the legendary rock band KIϟϟ, whose members allegedly adored the building’s ideal location as well as its rich history, ornate low-relief stonework, and exquisite architectural details.

Today, eclectic and avant-garde Hollywood music, art and film continue to permeate the senses inside The James of Hollywood – as a tribute to the history of the iconic property and the colorful residents, guests and visitors it has welcomed for more than 100 years.
