The Arlington Theatre, opened in 1931, is a beautifully preserved movie palace that now hosts concerts, films, and live performances. Its Spanish Colonial Revival facade and lavish interior, complete with a starry ceiling and ornate details, transport visitors to Old Hollywood. The 2,000-seat auditorium features excellent acoustics and sightlines. Distinctive for its atmospheric design, the theater often screens classic films alongside contemporary events. The adjacent courtyard and outdoor ticket booth add to its nostalgic charm.
