The 65th Annual Grammy Awards are just weeks away. Many of the biggest names in music gather for a week full of events across Los Angeles, California ending with the coveted ceremony on February 5, 2023, hosted by Trevor Noah. The estate of Whitney Houston is looking to add to the Grammy Week festivities with the launch of the Whitney Houston Hotel.
Noted as one of music’s greatest voices, the multiple Grammy Award winner tragically passed in 2012 while celebrating the event. Houston’s estate by way of the Whitney Houston Hotel is looking to honor not only her illustrious career seen in her recent biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody but her life and impact in entertainment, including film (Cinderella and The Bodyguard).
Partnering with Primary Wave and presented by Sony, the Whitney Houston Hotel, held inside of the W Hotel in Hollywood, will host a week full of events, including live musical performances by Michelle Williams (of Destiny’s Child), Amber Riley, Baby Tate, Teddy Swims, Coco Jones, Georgia Ku, Kiana Ledé, Natalie Jane, a memorabilia exhibit, a pop-up shop, and more.
