Inside the LA Athletic Club's Secret Celebrity Blue Room, Now Remodeled and Reopened

Renovations on the fifth and sixth floor spa areas are still in progress (salt cave, anyone?) at the historic Los Angeles Athletic Club, but the club is now unveiling its formerly secret Blue Room, a classy, reinvigorated lounge area with its own cocktail bar on the fourth floor. The Blue Room was a feature of the LAAC when the club began operating at its Downtown location in 1912, and was where the LAAC's influential, men-only Uplifters Club formed in 1913; it went on to count among its members movie stars like Will Rogers, Spencer Tracy, and Clark Gable, and behind-the-scenes bigwigs like director/choreographer Busby Berkeley, Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum, and Walt Disney, a release from LAAC says.
