Chateau Marmont
Los Angeles, United States
The notorious playground of Annie Leibovitz, F. Scott
Fitzgerald, Lindsay Lohan and just about every other notable name
you can think of, Chateau Marmont precedes itself in reputation.
Fantastical stories and enticing history aside, the hotel itself is
a destination. Expect European charm in the form of frescoed
vaulted ceilings, as well as a host of secret entrances and exits
for dodging paparazzi. Alongside a classic look, slick mid-century
interiors find their way into some of the bedrooms. See and be seen
sipping a martini at the Bar Marmont (or a bloody mary the morning
after on the terrace); a room key is your pass behind the velvet
rope – famous or not, you can call this LA grande dame home.
