Carter’s Review

"The Lombardy Hotel was built by William Randolph Hearst in 1926 and has been home to celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Bette Davis, and Richard Rodgers. 

This beige-brick building has a three-story limestone base with gargoyles and a very dramatic and unusual arched entrance with a large heated canopy and sidewalk landscaping."
