I stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel a few years ago in Hollywood (classic hotel, and inspiration of Disney's Tower of Terror). The first night, there was a private function that had taken over not only the lobby bar, but the entire lobby. As I was not invited to the party, I couldn't even enter the hotel lobby, despite being a registered guest. Due to its location, there's plenty to do within walking distance, so it wasn't that big of a deal, but still.
