Official Description (provided by the hotel)

The Charlie provides exclusive luxurious accommodations to a worldwide clientele, whilst preserving the natural and historical beauty of the property's grounds. The landmark upon which The Charlie resides today was first built & established in 1924 by the Ruth Gordon family. Word has it that numerous movie star legends have roamed these grounds in the past, living out their glorious days to the fullest! Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, and Gloria Swanson are only a few of such legends to name, to whom at one point or another The Charlie grounds were believed to have been a home! In 2002, threatened by re-development, this historical landmark was acquired by Menachem Treivush and has since undergone a multi-million dollar renovation. By carefully preserving historically-scrutinizing details, incorporating the technology of today, and dedicating careful attention to detail, Mr. Treivush has rapidly built up The Charlie into the unique establishment that it is today! Since re-opening to the public in 2008, The Charlie has become known as The Hidden Gem of the legendary West Hollywood! ... more

“Utterly charming”

Reviewed 3 weeks ago via mobile

Sooo much better than hotels in beverly hills. I love this place. Very roomy and a lovely charming individuality in each suite. Why would you stay in a hotel when you could stay here? All the rooms are great and its on a private and quiet street.

“Good location, but Needs Better Housekeeping”

Reviewed 4 weeks ago

The West Hollywood location is good, and the people that work here are very nice. Free parking when you book through the website.The place is charming, but they really need to address the housekeeping issues. I noticed that the kitchen appliances could have used a better cleaning, the glasses had spots, and worst of all - the shower was not... More

“Charming Charlie”

We had a lovely stay at the Charlie, a hidden gem in West Hollywood. It's located on the residential side off Melrose Avenue along a shaded street. Nice, quiet neighborhood, great location. We planned ahead to prepare dinner and breakfast in our room because of the full kitchen, however there was no bakeware, dish towel or a potholder in our... More

“Sweet Little Gem”

Reviewed August 10, 2016

A perfect location in Hollywood, snuggled into a residential neighborhood. We had the smallest suite, the Betty, and it was plenty large! A commodious living room cum kitchen and smaller bedroom and very pleasant bathroom. I loved that one could open wide the leaded-glass casement windows and look down upon a charming leafy courtyard. In the hushed atmosphere the fountain... More

Two of us enjoyed a two night stay that was very restful and peaceful. We stayed in the cottage named after Marilyn Monroe and appreciated the fully equipped kitchen. We were also able to walk to a number of places, which was helpful. If the location if full and you are parking inside the gate, it is very tight and... More

“A Different Sort of Place in LA”

Reviewed July 21, 2016

We are currently staying in the Marilyn cottage at The Charlie and will be reluctantly checking out tomorrow. We used to live in this part of Los Angeles and were attracted by the idea of staying somewhere more like "home" than an ordinary hotel. At the same time, The Charlie sounded almost too good to be true. No worries -... More

The good folks at The Charlie upgraded my wife and me to a two story bungalow with a full kitchen and French windows that opened up to roses and the sound of water trickling down fountains.
