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.
