The History: Towering above Sunset Boulevard, Chateau Marmont is Hollywood materialized in a historical and impressive structure of hospitality, entertainment and prestige. Its history spans the decades of some of Hollywood's most famous and infamous people, with stories ranging from the tragic death of comedian John Belushi to the escapades at the bachelor residences of such stars as Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. The Scene: The Chateau's hotel, restaurant and banquet facilities are housed in ornate architecture, with turrets, buttresses and large sweeping hallways offering glimpses of gothic European design. The furniture is comfy chic with oversized sofas decorating the lobby, which is filled with a grand piano. Rooms range from modest to spectacular with designer amenities and gorgeous peek-a-boo views of the city. The quiet, tree-shaded pool is surrounded by bungalows for those willing to pay the thousands-a-night price tag. And the restaurant, not open to the public, is open to hotel guests and for the select few worthy of such prestige. Offering a lobby lounge and cozy-cool Bar Marmont just next door, Chateau Marmont is a unique boutique hotel with enough history and prestige to make it Hollywood's royalty castle. Spotted Here: With all the room choices and a rep for being discreetly celeb-friendly, the Chateau is a popular spot for high-powered meetings, star parties and secret getaways. Brad Pitt lived in a bungalow for months during his breakup with Jennifer Aniston, and Orlando Bloom, Penelope Cruz, Will Ferrell, Courtney Love, Mischa Barton, Drew Barrymore, Kirsten Dunst and Sophia Coppola have all played here.
