In Short – No other hotel has played a more central role in Hollywood mythology. "If you must get in trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont," said original Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn. (The infamous quote was directed at William Holden and Glenn Ford in 1939.) A sampling from the scores of legendary scandals: Jean Harlow and Clark Gable trysted here, Jim Morrison, high as a kite, leapt from a balcony, and John Belushi overdosed in one of the bungalows. Situated atop a hill and hidden by thick foliage, Marmont's lure is the feeling of seclusion, which is why everyone from Bogart to…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Hungry? Head to the hotel's trendy restaurant for some nourishment.
The Extras:
Feeling hungry? Guests and visitors alike can enjoy a Euro-American menu either indoors or on the lush outdoor courtyard. (Just don't touch the celebrities.)

  1. The reviewer who said this is the most comfortable bed they have ever slept in is right on!
  2. Felt like we had a secret entrance to the castle that no one knew about and the room was HUGE with views so you could see who else was staying there.
  3. like the views from the rooms, the french architecture and the bar within the hotel.

  1. The atmospehere in the Chateau Marmont is whimsical and sophistcated which I hoped would bring a great experience, but at the end of the meal I was greatly dissapointed.
  2. The last time I stayed, while someone was checking in ahead of me, the manager offered me a fresh pear.
  3. The Chateau Marmont restaurant is just another Hollywood restaurant with overpriced food, poor service and a false reputation.

Not worth it unless they seat you outside

by Cannerob at Citysearch

It was a beautiful evening so we decided to eat in at the Chatueau Marmont's garden restaurant; however, when we got there they sat us in an inside room by ourselves ...insisting there was no room in the garden. But as we sat there we saw them seating lots of folks. And yes, I know they hold tables for folks staying at the hotel but the folks we saw were not. Anyway, what was really disappointing was the food and service...very poor.

  • Pros: beautiful garden
  • Cons: very mediocre food, poor service

Typical Hollywood restaurant with overpriced cusine, poor service and a fake facade

by hangerone at Citysearch

This review is not for the hotel, but for the restaurant within the Chateau Marmont. We were a party of 5 seated promptly. The atmospehere in the Chateau Marmont is whimsical and sophistcated which I hoped would bring a great experience, but at the end of the meal I was greatly dissapointed. Everything took forever, our reservations were at 7:30Pm and we didn't leave until 11:00PM. I had thought the entrees would have been worth the wait, but when they arrived there wasn't anything to remember. We had to finally go to the front to acquire our check and pay the $400 tab. The Chateau Marmont restaurant is just another Hollywood restaurant with overpriced food, poor service and a false reputation.

  • Pros: Atmosphere
  • Cons: Service, Food

best brunch spot

by nicole291 at Citysearch

I never would have thought about coming here to eat, but I had some friends in from out of town who wanted to do something very "L.A." Admittedly, I was expecting a bit of a scene with people talking at volume 10 about the next script they were working on, but there was none of that. It was comfortable, relaxing and refreshingly casual. It was an ideal setting for brunch with friends. We sat outside in the courtyard area. It was enclosed by trees with a gorgeous view of the hotel. The service was outstanding and I had the best eggs benedict I've ever tasted. It was -- even for me -- the ideal Hollywood experience.

  • Pros: perfect place for brunch, historic hollywood setting
  • Cons: try not to take separate cars, parking is limited

Excellent

by jholdham at Citysearch

This really is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. You get the best people watching on the patio, its serene, and the food is never a let down.

  • Pros: The patio
  • Cons: There may be a wait for a table
