More and Maps

Chateau Marmont hotel has been an icon of privacy and seclusion since the 1930s for the likes of Greta Garbo, Sam Shepard, Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves. The French castle-like hotel was restored in 1998 to its original eclectic, but tasteful, beginnings. With suites and bungalows offered, you may choose your level of preferred privacy. The Bar Marmont is one of the hottest bars on the Sunset strip. Chateau Marmont has more than its fair share of notoriety. It's where John Belushi famously overdosed in 1982. Despite this, the Chateau Marmont is entirely charming and a great place to stay since it's close to everything in Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

Nostalgic ambiance

We were able to stay in one of the cottages by the pool where cast read-throughs for "Rebel without a Cause" took place. The nostalgic feeling is everywhere and we enjoyed knowing we sat, swam or ate in the exact places Hollywood legends - past and present - had years before! \nFrom warm cookie delivery and great room service, to meals on the terrace our family enjoyed our stay and royal treatment. We were able to "star-gaze" morning, noon, and night. Famous faces we saw during our stay were Heath Ledger, Ricky Munez, Josh Hartnett, Colin Firth, Sarah Gilbert, Jerry Stiller (who yelled at the kids) and Nicky Katt....

Chateau Marmont

Absolutely the best lobby/bar in the city. It's a gorgeous hacienda-style room with cathedral ceilings. The couches are amazingly comfy, and you will not feel like leaving once you settle in to this infamous lounge. There is a piano, and waiter service. You can go into the small restaurant/bar, but I recommend staying out there in the great room. The rooms are nothing to write home about, in fact they're sort of 60's bunker feeling, but the history of this place makes its own sweet ambience. The location, on a knoll above the Sunset Strip, adds to its allure and its privacy. It's easy to see why it is a favored celebrity hangout. The place feels not like a hotel, but like a private mansion you happened to sneak into... Even if you're not staying here, it is a great idea to valet your car, pop in for a spell in the great room, and then wander down to Sunset Blvd for some fun. Your car will be safe and easy to find in the wee hours of the morning. It's not cheap to valet, but worth it.

The pricey hotel for the elite

The luxurious getaway for the Hollywood Elite. Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gylennhal have sunbathed by the pool and a slew of other celebrities frequent this infamous hotel.
