Planet Hollywood

Celebrity-backed dining chain

Planet Hollywood is a chain of themed restaurants decorated with movie and television memorabilia, founded in the early 1990s with celebrity backing from actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis.

The brand traded on Hollywood glamour and the promise of dining among authentic props and costumes from famous films.

After rapid expansion and eventual decline, it became emblematic of 1990s entertainment-themed dining alongside competitors like Hard Rock Cafe.
