Guest Reviews 4.4 / 5
Loved this place! You can really feel the history the moment you walk in. Everyone looks at you like you might be a celebrity—which honestly made me feel like one. The decor is iconic and feels like a time capsule, transporting you straight back to the glamour of the 70s. The ambiance is effortlessly cool, with a mysterious, old Hollywood charm you can’t replicate. The room service was excellent—everything arrived quickly and was beautifully prepared. If you’re looking for a classic LA experience that’s equal parts luxury and nostalgia, this is it. I can’t wait to come back.
Bucket list item checked off! This was an amazing experience, exceeding my expectations. The hotel, although “older” had all the charm I expected. I wish we could have stayed longer. The staff was discreet and professional and mindful of everyone’s needs.
I made a reservation at the Chateau Marmont restaurant two weeks in advance, as required. I went out of curiosity and out of respect for the place’s history — even though it’s obvious the restaurant is completely outdated and falling apart. From the moment we arrived, it was a disgrace. We were greeted with attitude by the doorman, and then by a tall, expressionless host who didn’t even bother to fake politeness. He simply told us — with zero apology or explanation — that the table we reserved for dinner was not actually for dinner. The place was completely empty, yet he offered no solution, no alternative, just a dismissive look and a cold shoulder. The building is literally crumbling, the energy is depressing, and the staff clearly couldn’t care less. Thankfully, we walked out and ended up having an amazing dinner elsewhere — with great food, warm service, and zero pretension. Bottom line: I’ve traveled the world and dined at top-rated and hidden gem restaurants alike, but I’ve never been treated with such arrogance and neglect. If you have any other option nearby — even a street cart — go there instead. This place is nothing more than a rotting, self-important dump living off past glory.
