In the heart of the Theater District, this quirky but extremely comfortable hotel is run to perfection. The fairy- tale decor is joyously original, being at once a celebration of color and elegance, and the beds may be the most comfortable in the world. The stylish restaurant is an attraction in itself.
$ Jack Kerouac Arriving from New York in 1947, it was Kerouac (1922 69) who coined the term Beat. He and his companions Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and others initiated the new politics of dissent and free love, all of which led, within a decade, to the Hippie Movement (see p37). His classic novel On the Road (1957) galvanized a generation.
