The Hotel Rosslyn Annex is a historic building in Los Angeles, California built in 1923 at the corner of 5th and Main streets. The structure was designed by the firm Parkinson & Parkinson in the Beaux Arts style and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
The building is across the street from the original 800-room Rosslyn Hotel built in 1914. Designed as a twin, both were topped by mammoth glowing signs featuring the names surrounded by a heart, the shape acknowledging the Hart brothers who owned the hotels.[2]
The 264-unit building was renovated to house a mix of homeless veteran, low-income and market-rate tenants.[3]
In popular culture
Irish pop vocal group Westlife used Hotel Rosslyn as a background location on parts of the official music video of their eleventh UK number-one hit "Unbreakable" in 2002.
