The spelling of the "Cocoanut Grove" was just "corrected" to "Coconut Grove". How sure are we that this is a correction? It clearly has been the "Cocoanut Grove" in the past - many nightclubs use this spelling. Had it been changed to "Coconut" at some point? If so, it would be of some interest to say when. I think Image:Cocoa(sic)nut.png refers to this nightclub, though it's hard to be sure due to poor resolution. - Nunh-huh 00:23, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You may be right - both are used in articles, but "Cocoanut" seems to be the right version. Mea culpa.Willmcw 00:27, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I was sort of wondering if they changed the spelling after the famous "Cocoanut Grove" fire (in Boston)...not that it's much of a change to Coconut... but if they thought they were warding off a curse or something... maybe not... - Nunh-huh 00:48, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It has always been "Cocoanut Grove" and stayed that way until the hotel closed. Any spellings in connection with The Ambassador Hotel that are "Coconut Grove" are simply wrong. 71.107.57.131 06:40, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:Hotels

Why on earth would someone remove Category:Hotels from an article about a hotel???

Because there is already Category:California hotels. All hotels in California are hotels, so there's no reason to double categorize the article. See Wikipedia:categorization. I guess we really need a "defunct hotels" category. Thanks, -Will Beback 21:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Angel

The Angel episode "Parting Gifts" which was filmed at the Ambassador was from the first season, not the third. (This is hard to verify from an acceptable-to-Wikipedia source, but see eg here.) --Bth 09:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Clean-Up

I just want the Wikipedia Community to know, I cleaned-up this article. Many people might want to learn more about The Ambassador Hotel. Asher Heimermann 09:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Can we add a photo of the site were The Ambassador Hotel was? Asher Heimermann 03:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
