Hotel Ziggy: Keeping the Music Alive on Sunset Strip

June 26, 2024

Nestled in the heart of the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Hotel Ziggy is more than just a place to stay – it is a destination for artists and music lovers. With its rock n roll vibe and dedication to the music scene, this hotel has become a beacon for those looking to immerse themselves into the vibrant spirit of music. In the past decade the Sunset Strip had undergone so many changes and closures but through it all the music still lives and it is definitely coming back strong. In 2022 Hotel Ziggy moved in and replaced the Grafton West Hollywood. In a destination where luxury, glamour and celebrity reign, a rebellious new neighbor has taken up residence in the heart of the Sunset Strip. The new Hotel Ziggy embraces differences and challenges conformity as a place that encourages guests and locals to come hang out and “just be who you are.” The unpretentious design influenced by grit and rock ‘n’ roll features a modern counter-culture spin. Located next to Mondrian Los Angeles, Hotel [Read More]

They are bringing a full on resuscitation to ROCK ‘N ROLL so get ready, hang on and enjoy the ride. We recently caught Greta Van Fleet perform at the beautiful intimate outdoor venue of John Anson Ford Amphitheater in Hollywood. The venue is situated in the rugged beauty of an LA County regional park. The setting was superb and as the bands took the stage, the sound was spot on. The crowd was greeted with a high energy gritty alt-rock set from SlothRust, LA/Brooklyn based three piece band. Their music is a great blend of 90’s grunge, garage punk, and alternative rock. The crowd grew to capacity as Greta Van Fleet were to take the stage. The excitement raced through the crowd as the lights dimmed and the band entered. From the first note to the last, the energy was [Read More]
