Los Angeles Hotels Become Emmys Night's Quiet Staging Ground

Around Los Angeles this week, hotel suites are doing work no red carpet camera will ever show — dressing rooms assembled ahead of the Emmys, gowns steamed, cars called, before anyone steps outside. It is a ritual as fixed to the city's calendar as the ceremony itself, and it belongs to the hotels as much as to the stars who pass through them.
