She reserved a luxurious bungalow for most of the year yet rarely visited the city. Lindsay has also been treating friends to meals and drinks and slapping them on her ever growing http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r860971 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108141 pros: AtmosphereThis 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. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108141 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r383785 This is the hotel favored by Led Zeppelin in the late 60's and early 70's. Legend is that after one tour a dead shark was found in the swimming pool. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r383785 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r416275 Always relaxed and wonderful! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r416275 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108134 pros: Takes the second time of trying to feel like you can manuever the drive wayWOW! what an amazing place. We were given the biggest room on the first floor. You literally just walked from dinner to your room. 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. The hotel service was to die for from personal directions for walking the hills from Benedict to wine suggestions from Elizabeth. The pool was a blast and even Clare Danes sunbathed right down from us. Unbelievable the amount of star power we saw from the new arrivals from England to Christopher LLoyd himself. If you only do it once, you should do it right at the Chateau you must stay at least two days so you can have breakfast and dinner in the garden and drinks in the lobby. Just sit back and enjoy yourself. Guests are treated like royalty! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108134 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108132 pros: romantic hotelspending a weekend in a private bungalow was just so romantic .....we live in la but if you want to get away ..it is the place. .The staff is very courteous and helpful.Great swimming pool area and the lobby is very inviting for drinks and relaxing http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108132 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108130 Great hotel. A classic, really. The sense of history is beyond compare. The rooms are cozy and have an understated grace. If you can afford it - you must stay here. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108130 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108120 pros: Amenities, Star Sightings, RomanticMy family was in town and we stayed at the Chateau in one of the 2-bedroom suites which seemed like a good idea. Even though we were 3 floors up and to the back of the building, there was a horrible noise coming from below one of our windows which kept us up for most of the night. We made a complaint to the front desk to request a room maybe one or two floors up to relieve us from the noise. Well, we must have been the lucky 100th customer that day because we ended up in Bungalow 1 the size of an average home here in Los Angeles!! It would be a tease to explain the dimensions of this unit and its amenities, but let me just say, we now understand why La Lohan did not want to leave this place!! We did eat once in the restaurant, but the service was REALLY slow. We also sat outside on the patio and had lunch and unless you are self conscious, expect a lot of stares. We capped off our stay having a few friends over and staying up late in the lobby, which was just how I would like to remember this wonderful Hollywood landmark. I just dont think it would be the same if we ever go back... http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108120 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108118 pros: Location. "Cool factor".PLEASE...this place is so completely overated. I went to a "Wedding Reception" in noe of the suites with a balcony slightly overlooking Sunset. I was not impressed. The room was a little dingy and the place just didn't feel clean. "Luxurious" did not come to mind. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108118 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108116 pros: Cool atmosphere, Nice BarI like the views from the rooms, the french architecture and the bar within the hotel. I often come to LA because I have a pet parrot that stars in many movies and I swear that she loves the rooms more than I do. Granted I have to sneak her in. When I am in LA, it's all about the Chateau Marmont. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Chateau_Marmont/r1108116
