Christiki unless you heard that while you were there last week then you have just started a rumor for no reason. The hotel isn't being torn down, The Robinsons-May building, the parking lot and the corner where the old Trader Vic's was will be gone but the hotel will stay pretty much the same. It looks like there will a ballot measure to try and overturn the city council's approval. I think that when Grandpa Richguy realizes that his unobstructed view of the Hollywood Hills will have a high rise blocking it filled with people looking into his yard he'll vote no. I also think that the big Tiki and even the A-frame entryway still belong to Trader Vic's and maybe they'd be moved to the downtown LA location if that happens. I hope there is a way to remove the cement images etched on the walls of the old Vic's. It would suck to see them smashed.
