Chateau Marmont
About
Chateau Marmont, a castle-like hotel on the hillside above Sunset Blvd modeled on a Loire Valley château, opened in 1929 and has long been Hollywood's discreet hideaway, with no shortage of legends. These days it's mostly members and guests only; you get the best view from across Sunset Blvd.
Jasmine says
Hollywood's safe-deposit box of legends: every era's secrets have stayed in this castle.
Insider tips
- Hard to get in without staying; Bar Marmont, when it's open, is the only way in.
- The castle exterior looks best from across Sunset.
- Keep photos low-key; the culture of privacy here is real.
