The Glen-Holly Hotel was the second hotel constructed in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles County (Sackett Hotel was the first). It was built by Joakim Berg, a noted artist of the 1890s in the region. At the hotel's opening, it had twenty rooms and one bath. A horse carriage called a tallyho took guests from downtown Los Angeles to the hotel.[3]
The hotel's original owner, Charles M. Pierce, became operator of the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad's Balloon Route in 1904. The hotel, a stop on the line that went from downtown Los Angeles to West Los Angeles and the west side beaches, was used by the route as lunch stop.[3][4]
D. L. Allen later took over management of the Glen-Holly Hotel, and added a billiard hall, bowling alley, and livery service.[3][5]
The hotel, a landmark of the area, was later demolished.[3]
