The Culver Hotel. The studio is right next door
"Cool" It has quite a history!
The hotel was originally jointly built by Charles Chaplin and Harry Culver, the founder of Culver City. Harry Culver's office was on the second floor in a room that, now, looks out to the Sony Plaza building.
Legend has it that Charlie Chaplin sold the hotel to John Wayne for a dollar during a poker game.
Much of the cast of The Wizard of Oz (1939) stayed at the hotel during its filming.
