The famous and infamous Chateau Marmont lives up to all the hype with its divine garden lit and heated at night by fires with attentive waiters and lovely food and drinks. The bohemian hotel has not been overdecorated and retains its crazy charm. Valet parking is the cost of a college education and nearby parking impossible but ... who cares? With a drink in hand and the ghosts of trysts and excitement all around one is transported into Hollywood in days past and it's really fun.
My favorite!Beautiful place with beautiful people and you never know who you will be having a drink with!!
old bar scene....sure to see celebrities but drinks are expensive. Was not overly impressed with the hype.
just good fun. It's my kinda peeps. fun. just fun. pretty expensive and got a little more grandiose over theyears but still an LA flavour.
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.
There is nowhere in the world like The Chateau. If you love Hollywood history you have to visit. Hands down the best people watching in LA. Dinner/drinks do not come cheap but the experience will be priceless.
when i read about this place i thought jeans, dress shoes and a expensive polo would suffice. nope, we were turned away by the PARKING STAFF who wouldn't park my rental car because it wasn't expensive enough (and they said we weren't dressed appropriately). nothing on their site, this site or other sites indicates a dress code or CAR CODE. Grab the Bentley and head elsewhere. this place is a no go/no return.
This Hotel is a L.A. Landmark, the site of so many notorious stories, the intersection of so many careers in showbusiness... Has to be one of the most ''Hollywood'' experiences ever... You've got to stay there at least once in your life. It's also a really good Hotel in a very strategic location, with one of the most interesting bars you'll ever see. Cool and Hip, The star-sighting is part of the experience...
I've loved this place for years. I only have lunch or breakfast. It's always superb. You feel like you're in the luscious Hollywood days of yesteryear. It's relaxing, elegant and beautiful. Everything tastes divine. I rarely have dinner there. I find that menu very limited. Treat yourself to a gracious, lush experience and make am outdoor reservation at the Chateau. You'll keep going back again and again.
My fiance and I went here for a drink - mostly for the scene. We sat outside in the patio. The vibe borders on foreign/touristy attraction and a place to be seen in LA. The hotel itself is beautiful as is the outside area. It was really crowded and had a great atmosphere on a weeknight during the holiday season.The wine was pricey for the taste....but we came for the experience. Its a great place for people watching and celeb spotting!
