Sheilah Graham was an American gossip columnist during Hollywood's Golden Age. It was at The Garden of Allah where she met novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald. They would remain together until his death in 1940.
About The Garden of Allah Hotel: Opening its doors in 1927, this discrete hotel housed some of Hollywood's most iconic stars and their wild antics. Time magazine once wrote, "Through the intoxicating Twenties and Thirties, the Garden of Allah was more house party than hotel." The hotel soon became a place where high-profile celebrities could enjoy quiet, quaint accommodations away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. Although the hotel closed its doors in 1959, it remains a fascinating relic of the past.
Notable guests included:
F. Scott Fitzgerald-lived there on and off from 1937-1938. While staying at the hotel, he wrote an infamous postcard to himself "Dear Scott, How are you? Have been meaning to come in and see you. I have (been) living at the Garden of Allah. Yours, Scott Fitzgerald." During this time, Fitzgerald was struggling to make ends meet as screenwriter in Hollywood. It was at the Garden of Allah that Fitzgerald wrote much of his last novel, "The Last Tycoon."
Clara Bow-The actress became popular for diving into the hotel's pool in a dinner gown with martini in hand!
Ernest Hemingway
Frank Sinatra
Groucho Marx
Lauren Bacall
