What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, The 50 Discovery, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The building is pure movie set... it is a perfect eighteenth-century replica, fluted pillars graced by ivy and untouched by mold, with a swimming pool to boot.
“The deliberately louche nature of the accommodations, supported by soundproof walls and an indiscretion blacklist, is part of the enduring appeal.”
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Perched directly above the Sunset Strip, the hotel offers a walkable gateway to iconic comedy clubs, historic music venues, and West Hollywood nightlife.
The rooms
Suites and private bungalows pair vintage furniture with 1930s tiled bathrooms, thick soundproof walls, and classic midcentury gas stoves in kitchenettes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated oval pool sits bordered by brick terraces, orange loungers, and dense tropical garden greenery.
Dogs stay too.
The Restaurant at Chateau Marmont
Tables sit among potted palms and stone Gothic colonnades, serving seasonal Californian fare across the leafy courtyard patio.
for almost a century this Sunset Strip hotel has been where Hollywood’s A-list goes for a good time that won’t make the papers.
At the table
The intimate Lobby Bar pours cocktails beneath red-fringed pendant lamps and tall wicker stools along a wooden counter.
How it began
Designed after the Loire Valley's Château d'Amboise, the 1929 apartment tower converted into a residential hotel to host visitors for the 1932 Olympics.
“Thanks to its home-y, yet decidedly cool atmosphere, Chateau Marmont is popular with celebrities looking for long term stays.”
