Given its close association with Tinseltown, it seems appropriate that the Chateau Marmont-which was loosely modeled after France’s Château d'Amboise (one-time home of Mary, Queen of Scots and assumed to be Leonardo da Vinci’s final resting place)-opened in 1929, the same year as the very first Academy Awards ceremony. Celebrity-spotting is almost inevitable, but it’s important to keep your cool staring is considered very unsophisticated at the Chateau. Though it has been operating as a hotel for 85 years, the hotel-which was designated as a cultural landmark in 1976-has lost none of its sheen, and continues to attract actors young and old, who make use of the property as a party venue, press conference setting, low-key hideaway, or site of debauchery. Few places evoke old Hollywood glamour quite like the Chateau Marmont hotel on Sunset Boulevard.
