Description:
This was the playground of the Hollywood elite, before Beverly Hills became a major nesting ground.
Despite all of its celebrated history & past glory days, the Ambassador Hotel will forever be remembered & associated with the assassination of Robert F Kennedy, brother of President John F Kennedy, who had himself been assassinated in Dallas in 1963.
Senator Robert F Kennedy was himself running for the Presidency in 1968. He had just finished delivering his victory speech for the Californian Primary, in the Hotel's Embassy Ballroom , when on leaving through the pantry he was gunned down by a man named Sirhan Sirhan.
The Ambassador Hotel has been used as a filming location for many years since its close and was just recently partially demolished after a heated and controversial debate over the issue of historical preservation. It's going to be a school I believe.
In the movie LA Story, the hotel is used as the location for L'Idiot, the fancy restaurant that Harris K Telemacher struggles to get a reservation at.
When I was a little girl I used to take tennis lessons in the tennis courts of the closed down hotel. My aunt would pick me up from lessons and she'd always shake her head and say "poor bobby, bobby kennedy, what a shame."
