"Culver City isn’t exactly the first place your mind goes when you think Old Hollywood, but the Culver Hotel might change that. Built in 1924 just a few blocks from what was then MGM Studios and is now Sony, this historic hotel has an excellent lobby bar that’s quiet and romantic, but never dull. If you’re looking for a nightcap after a date and want to drink a cocktail in the same hotel where the cast of The Wizard of Oz stayed during production, remember Culver Hotel." - brant cox
