Chateau Marmont

I love that this trendy spot doesn't act pretentious. I love the location, and I love that the people who work there were some of the nicest we met in LA. This really is a super fun place and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great for spotting stars, GQ man of the year celebration took place last Thursday. The "pops" were out but we missed all the stars exiting the hotel

Snobby, Pricy, Rude, older place, be prepared to be mistreated unless you are a movie star! The staff is always looking around to see who is who and ignore the regular costumer despite the expensive prices of the hotel, bar and food. I think if they want to mistreat regular costumer, then they should just only accept reservations for the stars! Seriously I doubt even the stars would want to stay in this smelly older hotel!

Each room is unique. Nothing matches. Everything feels like it has a story to tell. Legendary in terms of old Hollywood chic, and dripping A-Listers coming to hang out, the Chateau Marmont is a quirky elite hotel for those who want a place that feels more like (a very nice) home than a luxe hotel. The restaurant stresses local produce, strong preparation and elegant service. It is French-leaning classic cuisine, but with a strong overlay of California fruit/vegetable/fish. The room service menu mirrors the restaurant, and the slightly more laidback pool service is delicious. And that pool is an incredible place to spend time. Smallish, the chaise. lounges and small sofas suggest languishing while waiting for the big deal to come through. Indulgence is encouraged; the frose alone is worth the afternoon lost, For those who can afford the Cabanas, they are the best of the California Joan Didion celebrated in THE WHITE ALBUM. White washed, shabby chic, full of light, they sprawl and ramble -- and foment creativity without being obvious. Yes, the bar scene is terrific. The living room off the check-in area is equal parts Morocco, your rich grandparents' home and Keith Richards' '70s aesthetics. With a staff who aims to help, it's worth the splurge.

I love this hotel. Rooms are small and old, but I have never seen a better staffed hotel. The staff goes so far above and beyond, you would swear they were set up by your very best friend. The food and restaurants are very pretty and a great place to people watch. Great history in the hotel too.

We had a large one bedroom apartment in the tower and a decent view of fireworks in the distance from the small terrace/balcony. Although large, the apartment was quite shabby - Just shabby - not “shabby chic” as I had anticipated. The experience however was low key relaxing and beautiful for our group of friends. The proces are high already, especially for the poor condition, however, if they updated them I’m sure the property would be completely out of reach for our level travelers!
