The Chateau Marmont is a hotel located at 8221 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. The hotel was designed by architects Arnold A. Weitzman and William Douglas Lee and completed in 1929.[2][a] It was modeled loosely after the Château d'Amboise, a royal retreat in France's Loire Valley.[4]

The hotel is known as both a long- and short-term residence for celebrities[5][6][7][8][9] – historically "populated by people either on their way up or on their way down"[10] – as well as a home for New Yorkers in Hollywood.[11][12][13][14] The hotel has 63 rooms, suites, cottages, and bungalows.[7]

In 2020, the hotel announced plans to become a members-only hotel.[15][16] These plans were withdrawn in 2022.[17]
