Capitol Records Building (Capitol Records Tower)

The Capitol Records Building is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable landmarks—an iconic 13-story round tower near Hollywood & Vine that looks like a stack of records topped with a spire. It’s still an active music/office building, so it’s typically best as a photo stop from outside (not generally open for public touring).

Photo tip
Best angles are from Vine St looking up at the round “records” and the spire, especially around golden hour.
