Santa Monica Blvd, .24/6
When the Century Plaza Hotel opened in 1966, on the Avenue of Stars, its doormen wore red Beefeater costumes and it was the first hotel to have color-TVs in every room. Later, its adjacent Century Plaza Towers became famous when--while Reagan was in office--he stayed so often the media dubbed it his Western White House. The Century Plaza closed for renovations in 2016 and reopened in 2021, operated by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, and is a member of Historic Hotels of America.
Added info from Flickr Friend Dean Cheng: Both the Century Plaza Hotel and the Century Plaza Towers were designed by Minoru Yamasaki. But his most well known project is the original World Trade Center in NYC.
