8. Gallery Bar and Cognac Room - "Rumor Has It"

The hotel’s ornate Gallery Bar and Cognac Room, located just off the lobby, is both a popular gathering place and a popular film location. The stately watering hole, which boasts coffered ceilings, a granite bar and an abundance of Old Hollywood ambiance, was where Jennifer Aniston timidly asks Kevin Costner if he is her father in Rumor Has It. (Spoiler alert – he’s not.) It was also at the Gallery Bar that Diane Krueger meets with Ed Harris to discuss newly-found pages of John Wilkes Booth’s diary in National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Ali Larter tries to seduce Idris Elba in the grand space while eating the “best burger in town” in Obsessed. And the site also portrayed the Washington, D.C. eatery where Huck teaches new gladiator Quinn how to work a reporter in the third episode of Scandal. The Gallery Bar has also appeared in Alias, Mad Men, Along Came Polly, 24 and Monk. One of the bar’s signature drinks, the Black Dahlia Martini, was named in honor of slain actress Elizabeth Short, aka the “Black Dahlia,” who was last seen walking out of the Biltmore on Jan. 9, 1947. Though her body was found six days later, her killer never was, and the case remains one of Los Angeles’ most infamous unsolved mysteries.
