Madrid Hotels

When you are looking for Hollywood hotels make sure you know the history of the place you’re going to.

The area we know today as Hollywood was first discovered by Spanish explorers who have encountered several Native American tribes around Santa Monica Mountains. The tribes were moved to missions and the Spanish Government has divided the land in two: Rancho La Brea and Rancho Los Feliz.

Wilcox has actively developed the community with the aim to sell residential lots to wealthy buyers looking for a place to spend winters under the hot sun of California.

The community has flourished rapidly with rich houses, but its independence was not for long. Due to the lack of water, the community was decided to make part of Los Angeles with its abundance of water. Thus, since 1903 Hollywood is a district of the greater Los Angeles.

The first film studio was established in 1911, when the Nestor Company bought an old tavern. The mild climate and abundance of open spaces have made this place very attractive for the rapidly growing movie industry and soon many studios and sets have sprang up in Hollywood. The city faced a major influx of residents and money, with many clubs, restaurants, banks, offices and apartment buildings being built to serve the movie making industry.

Hollywood has seen many changes during its history and still remains a very active environment. Today you will find any business in the city. With many studios moving outside the area and many stars - to Beverly Hills, many record companies and studios have made Hollywood their place of residence. And this is definitely not the last change Hollywood will see in its history.
