Stayed for a long weekend as a bucket list thing. It was cool, something that I'm glad we did once. It has that old-world charm, and it does feel nice to be somewhere that you know people will mostly be respectful of not having phones out.

each year we visit LA this is always top of our must go places to visit. the food, the outdoor dining area, or just for a few drinks at the bar, this is an absolute must visit place in WEHO.
The character and charm of this property is in abundance.
This is always an absolute favourite place to visit or stay.

You can't sit in the lobby of the Chateau without sighting a celebrity. In my two day visit I saw Ron Woods, Christopher Walken, Lindsay Lohan, Denzel Washington, and Richard Lewis. Go in order a drink and try not to stare. And DO NOT take pictures. You will be asked to leave. If you have the means ($2,000 a night) stay in a Bungalow. (I don't BTW I was working there on a photo shoot)

when i read about this place i thought jeans, dress shoes and a expensive polo would suffice. nope, we were turned away by the PARKING STAFF who wouldn't park my rental car because it wasn't expensive enough (and they said we weren't dressed appropriately). nothing on their site, this site or other sites indicates a dress code or CAR CODE. Grab the Bentley and head elsewhere. this place is a no go/no return.

We picked this hotel because my wife is a huge fan of celebrities and last year we got a taste of what this hotel could offer when we visited for lunch when we were staying at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. As we decided to go back to LA this year, we decided to stay at the Chateau Marmont so we could experience in full what the Chateau had to offer. My wife also held onto the fact that she would see one of her idols as last time we visited we saw a few famous people whilst having just lunch!!! We were not disappointed as we saw lots of celebrities here such as Jason Stratham, Michael Madsen and Lawrence Fishbourne to name but a few !! Oh no not forgetting Marco Pierre White, we saw him breakfast, lunch and dinner the whole time we were there !!! If you want to experience what it is like mingling with the stars then stay here, whilst we do not regret our decision to stay here because we had a fantastic time, there are better rooms available in LA and if we went back we would have to think hard about whether we wanted to stay at the Chateau although without doubt, we will be visiting their lots. The hotel staff particularly the breakfast lady host are all very friendly and make you feel welcome - you didn’t feel that you were not as important because you were not a celebrity !!!! We had a garden cottage which was very noisy because of the road and the Bar Marmont. The food is great here as well and is reasonably priced. Go and have fun there, you won’t regret it !!!!

Live like Hollywood royalty for a few days. Everything is perfect about a stay at the Chateau.

Go here for drinks. the place is loaded with old Hollywood charm and character. It can be a little on the pricey side.

We stayed in a cottage for four nights. I’ll start with the good. It’s a quaint, historic hotel that is reasonably well maintained. The valet was friendly, the front desk staff helpful and the cleaning staff did a very good job. The food was good and we had some good service and some mediocre service.
The cottages are quaint, clean and charming. But they do lack some of the finishing touches/ updates you would expect in this price range. The pool is small but nice and it feels like an oasis steps from the bustle of Hollywood and the strip.
The not so good. On our fourth night we were challenged, yes I do mean challenged, as our Uber dropped us off and we headed to our room if we should be there. I woke up each morning to at least one person sleeping on a lounge by the pool with beer bottles/ glasses and cigarettes strewn about them. During one afternoon I watched a guy smoking pot at the bar, then chain smoke cigarettes and get wasted strip down to his underwear and lounge poolside for hours.
I get that’s part of the deal with this hotel but seriously the management needs to have some standards. Underwear at the pool, drunks sleeping on lounge chairs, cig butts all over the pool deck. I don’t care if people smoke pot or get drunk but it was border line out of control and the pool bartender told me it was mellow compared to the usual.
Overall a cool place, great location and a lot of history. It was worth staying for the experience but I doubt we would stay there again.

Visited the famous Chateau for a drink only to be told upon arrival (after making a reservation) that they had an event and we wouldn’t be able to enter. Typical LA vibe (too cool for school) and the hotel staff is extremely snobby and rude. Skip entirely.

Dress code at bar five thirty on a Saturday?
Written June 15, 2019
You could inquire but I would seriously doubt that a jacket or tie would be required. This is Los Angeles and men just do not dress up that way. Women do dress well but I am not aware of restrictions.
