Ghosts of the Knickerbocker (Stop 8)

Go behind the sign and on location to the Hollywood Knickerbocker Apartments (formally the Knickerbocker Hotel). The Knickerbocker was once the Hotel of the Stars, but as Hollywood Blvd. declined, it dragged the Knickerbocker down with it. It cycled from upscale apartment, to glamorous celebrity hotel, to a deteriorated residence for drug addicts and prostitutes, and finally to housing for seniors.

If you believe the stories, ghosts roam its halls. The massive art deco chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the lobby is the only remaining relic of the Knickerbocker’s once dazzling past. If you stare at it long enough, you might just be transported back to the days of Hollywood Land. Please don't forget to like & subscribe!
