Alta Loma Road is the celebrity-filled cul-de-sac that runs a mere one block. It is off the Sunset Strip in the city of West Hollywood. It is one block west of La Cienega Blvd. and is between Holloway Drive and Sunset Boulevard.
The street originally ran directly through from Holloway Drive to Sunset Boulevard but was changed to a cul-de-sac after many of the celebritites on the street voiced their concerns about traffic from the Sunset Strip.
The street is best known for Sunset Marquis Hotel and the hotel's bar, the Whisky Bar. The exclusive condominiums on the block include The Park Wellington and The Empire West.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
