During my early years at Westchester, it was known as the Hyatt Hotel, resting comfortably on the corner of Century and Sepulveda Boulevards, across the street from the main gateway to LAX and the old Garnet HQ. I've made visits and went to events there over the years (including the expensive GlamourCon in the late 90's only to meet a favorite Playmate, Denise McConnell).
Nowadays, the building is still there in it's prime location that any hotel chain would still be envious over, but the Hyatt name and the Garnet building is gone and the gateway has had many facelifts and TSA'ed.
However, in der old days, it was originally called the 'International Hotel'. Not much is known about this place in nut and bolts terms like who originally built it, when and/or why?
Therefore, in this page, you find a small collection of postcards I have bumped into either in person or Ebay. Once of which is a rare one with a shot of the poll area. |
