The Ambassador Hotel

Hollywood glam was a different experience in the old days. The Ambassador Hotel is one spot that used to host the Oscars, and celebs like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire walked its red carpet. The hotel remained a hotspot for hotshots for decades, like Robert F. Kennedy. Sadly, that's also where he was assassinated. However, movie buffs continued to visit the site long after the award show was moved to another location.

Despite the continued interest in keeping it open, the hotel wasn't meant to be. In the 1990s it was totally demolished. All we have left are pictures and videos, but luckily, the stories live on.
