The Cocoanut Grove was a nightclub inside the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. It featured lavish exotic décor and was open between 1921 and 1989. The club opened on April 21, 1921. The room seated 1000 in tiered seating with boxes reserved on an annual basis.
The entrance doors were gold leafed and etched with palm trees, the room featured Moorish arches, a tropical mural with an illuminated moon and running waterfall, and Chinese lanterns strung between papier-mâché coconut palm trees salvaged from the set of the Rudolph Valentino film The Sheik. The ceiling featured illuminated stars in the style of atmospheric theaters that were popular in the 1920s. Life-sized, mechanical monkey figures with glowing amber eyes were placed in the trees.
