The-One-Expected-Party-Logo-300x184For those of you coming to Hollywood for this party, especially those of you from outside the Southern California area, you already know you need a hotel. But I’d like to make sure all you locals are able to take advantage of these great deals we have with these hotels. After all, with the closure of all the streets surrounding the newly dubbed Dolby Theater at the Hollywood and Highland Complex, you won’t have to worry about being late to the party when you are staying at one of the neighboring hotels.

Please check out our Accommodations page for details on all the hotels. A few have already closed the books on our group block, and a few will remain open for another two weeks, but all the details can be found on that page. I have personally inspected all 5 hotels, so if you have any questions, email me at Garfeimao@TheOneRing.net and I’d be happy to assist you.

TheOneRing.net is planning a big to-do here in Hollywood on the night of February 24th, THE ONE EXPECTED PARTY, in the tradition of our grand Oscar Parties of years past. Today on our *live* webcast TORn TUESDAY, your genial host Cliff “Quickbeam” Broadway will discuss the rarified air of Hollywood’s awards season and how THE HOBBIT is performing worldwide as fans eat it up.
