What are "Hollywood Twin" beds?
score:8
In general, "Hollywood Twin" can be used to refer to a hotel room set up with two "single" beds intended for one person each — sometimes called "twin" beds — and that usually share a headboard.
The idea is that the two beds can be easily configured separately or pushed together and sometimes "zipped" together to form a single larger bed, as well. Here is at least one credible source — a hotel in Tokyo — that defines the term as just two beds "arranged side by side" in a close configuration. Another hotel in Okinawa mentions the "zip" beds option. A "California King" refers to a specific — and gigantic — US mattress size, but Hollywood Twin does not.
My understanding always has been that the "Hollywood" in this naming convention is a nod to classic 1950s Hollywood sitcom I Love Lucy and similar programs. Throughout its run, I Love Lucy had various studio-imposed/self-censorship requirements — sometimes referred to as the Hays code in legal circles — for the characters' bedding options.
In I Love Lucy, the beds sometimes were configured separately with one character expected to keep a foot on the floor. Other times, the beds were allowed to be pushed together, but they had to be visibly separate with separate blankets (as demonstrated by iconic Getty Images photos from the show). This configurability of the twin beds in Hollywood of this era likely is what lends Hollywood Twin its name in a hotel context, as well.
