The Chateau Marmont is a beautiful old hotel. It's very old Hollywood. And that's part of the problem: The rooms are small, not especially comfortable (the bathroom was bigger than the room, it felt) and the walls are super thin. I know that the Chateau is where Hollywood types party, and perhaps I should have expected the screaming at 3am... more

This was our second year running at the hotel - last year we brought the kids and rented a cottage in the grounds. This year we had a first floor rear facing suite with no kids - perfect. My wife and I just love the hotel, the pool, the staff and especially the terrace restaurant. Everyone has a script with... more

A lot of guests having problems at check-in, we didn't get the cottage we had booked but once we did it was bliss. The hassle was part of the staff, one part nice and service minded - the other half seriously not understanding they aren't Tom Hanks - the are service people that unlike their guests actually have to work... more

This was my second stay at the Chateau and I absolutely love the place. It's certainly not for everyone: rooms vary widely, service is friendly but casual, and the vibe is laid-back rather than crisp and efficient - it's definitely not the Four Seasons, and all the better for it. What you get when you stay here is access to... more

I was really excited to stay here for a few days of luxury while away on business. I'm visiblly pregnant and traveling is oh-so much easier when I stay in fabulous places with great service. That being said - the Chateau has been my biggest hotel let down ever~! When I went to check in, the incredibly pretentious little boy,... more

Let me start by saying this: the Chateau Marmont is not for everyone. They charge 5-star prices for accommodations that are probably 3-4 stars at best, but combined with the allure of Hollywood, their prime location, and access to their oh-so-exclusive (in their opinion) bar and pool area, it's worth it if you're in the mindset to party Hollywood-style. I... more

Finally got to stay in the famous Chateau Marmont. First off, let me say that you can definitely get a far more luxurious hotel experience for the same - or less - price at a number of other LA hotels. If you want the perfect room and the huge marble bathroom with gold fixtures and a tv over the tub,... more

We are a family of 4 who stayed for 5 nights at the Chateau. We had a 2 bedroom suite and it was exactly as expected. The sense of history, nostalgia and ambience was wonderful. All of the staff we friendly and helpful. The gym was nop notch for a hotel of this size, and we had the gym daily... more

This hotel needs a reality check. They clearly believe they are a luxury hotel when in fact they are an overhyped second rate outfit. THe rooms are a disgrace-for $350 you were taking a bath with your neighbour being told by the concierge that the 'acustics are an issue but they are an old establishment and cannot change this'.Excuse me?... more
