Chateau Marmont

One of the World’s Most Iconic Hotels Just Reopened in Tokyo. What’s Changed? | Vogue

"Among the rare hotels that loom larger than lodging itself, this Los Angeles legend lingers for its ghosts of Hollywood past and gadabouts of Hollywood present." - Nick Remsen

"If The Beverly Hills Hotel is Los Angeles’s most famous hotel, the Chateau Marmont is its most infamous, thanks to its many legendary scandals. (Let’s just say a lot has gone down within its Gothic-style halls.) To be fair, it’s an environment designed to accommodate a hedonistic clientele—the patio turns into a who’s-who lounge by the evening, and there are no photos allowed. Book a room and indulge in L.A.’s wild side. —Elise Taylor"

"Tucked away in a quiet corner of Weho is this tiny, humble neighborhood joint…just kidding. it’s the f*cking Chateau. If that name means nothing to you, grab the nearest magazine and flip open to the “Where Celebrities Go To Get In Magazines” section. That will answer all your questions. Although, serious business does in fact happen here – so if you have some, this is the power spot to get it done." - brant cox

Where To See & Be Seen In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"You’re paying $35 per cocktail at Chateau Marmont because, with complete and total certainty, someone famous is in your vicinity. It could be Al Pacino splitting a branzino in the courtyard, David Schwimmer having an old fashioned next to the jazz piano, or the ghost ofJohn Bonham. And even if the food is often underseasoned and definitely overpriced, dinner at the Chateau is a rush simply because it lets you pretend, even on a quiet night, that you’re on the guest list of a debaucherous after-party that would make Jay Gatsby blush." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park

"Housed in a 1929 French-château–style building turned hotel, the property offers a homey yet discreet atmosphere prized by celebrities for long-term stays; its Old World elegance—crushed velvet, wrought-iron chandeliers, and garden-surrounded pool—was preserved and modernized during a major 1990s renovation. Secluded 1950s bungalows, a signature pool, solicitous staff, and a strict privacy culture (including a no-camera policy in the restaurant) make it a sanctuary where high-profile guests can relax away from prying eyes." - Chris Dong
