Editorial Review for Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas – by Ginny Chien

The Scene
It has evolved into ground zero for visiting rockers since opening in 1963 on the hem of the Sunset Strip. Perhaps it's the on-site recording studio or mysticism of nearby live-music institutions like the Whisky and Roxy that lure a laundry list of celebs, including the Rolling Stones, U2 and KISS. Proving its industry mettle, the recording facility isn't just some throwaway for novelty's sake.

The Details
Sparse, cool spaces exude rock-star sexiness in a subdued, I-don't-give-a-damn way--kind of like the patrons do. But don't let the muted tones and tranquil koi ponds fool you. By night, microminis and sequined tube tops rule, particularly near the hotel's exclusive Whiskey Bar. Ongoing renovations keep the rooms in demand, while jungle-like landscaping and a zealously accommodating staff shelter guests from the Strip's freneticism.

Bear in mind that I stayed here before the major remodeling, but our room was one of the updated ones and I have to say I was surprised that it was not as cool as I thought it would be. This place has a rock 'n' roll reputation and I guess I was expecting more of a Vegas Hard Rock aesthetic/scene. While it was clean and spacious (almost too spacious -- our suite could've used an extra chair or couch or .. something), it just didnt have any pizzaz. The real highlight of the place is the dark little bar (Keanu is a regular!) that has oversized black-and-white signed photos of rockers like Slash and i-forgot-who-else. The restuaurant is also pretty good -- I've had a number of meetings there. A lot quieter than I expected, but I guess when they're not on stage, this is the kind of thing rock stars are looking for. Am curious to see if it's any different now that the new villas have been built.

Pros: Cool bar, celeb-spotting

Cons: Expensive
