Sleep In Room Where Janis Joplin Died (Closed)
Hollywood, California
Janis Joplin, arguably the most iconic of all 1960s women rockers, died only a few months into the 1970s from an accidental overdose of especially pure heroin. She spent her last moments in room #105 of the Landmark Motor Hotel (now the Highland Gardens Hotel). Anyone can rent it (although October 3-4, the anniversary, is usually booked). The room is surprisingly small for a superstar, and probably looks much the same as it did the day that Janis was found face-down, wedged between the dresser and the bed. It's a popular sleepover spot for believers in ghosts.
The day she died, her psychedelic-painted, 1965 Porsche 356c Cabriolet was in the hotel parking lot. The eye-catching car was most recently on exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, Ohio.
