A Magical Stay
11.03.09
It used to be that one needed to be invited by a magician to get into the ultra exclusive Magic Castle in Hollywood. Indeed, the Victorian-style mansion has been the private clubhouse for the Academy of Magical Arts, an organization devoted to keeping the ancient art of magic alive. For nearly five decades, the Magic Castle has enthralled captive audiences with up-close magician performances in intimate parlors throughout the mansion. While it’s true that the general public still needs an invitation from a magician to gain admittance, here’s a quick way to skip that: Stay a night at the Magic Castle Hotel, natch. Rooms start at $170 a night and grants you entry into the castle for a night of magical entertainment. Bear in mind that dinner reservations will also need to be made at the Magic Castle and there is also a dress code.
