 Sold to Hyatt Hotels Corporation in 1966, it was renamed the Continental Hyatt House.In the late 1960s and 1970s the hotel's proximity to popular clubs such as the Whisky a Go Go made it the preferred Los Angeles accommodation for touring rock groups, notably English bands Led Zeppelin, The Who and the Rolling Stones.It was often referred to at the time as the "Riot House", a play on the name Hyatt House.
