The Restaurant at Chateau Marmont

"There are two bars inside the hotel--one at the back of the restaurant and one to the side of the lobby"

"As Hollywood's most notorious celebrity hideaway, the Chateau Marmont is the best spot for A-list sightings, especially in its two fantastic (yet reasonably priced) restaurants"

"The restaurant serves up traditional American cuisine; the lobby and nearby Bar Marmont are party scene favorites with the rich and famous"

"“Where new and old Hollywood meet”, this “chic”, “secluded” Sunset Strip “landmark” in a “beautiful” historic building surrounded by “lush foliage” delivers primo “star-watching”, whether at the “fun” bar, “great” restaurant or “rocking” pool; the “efficient and courteous” staff can sometimes come off a “tad snooty” if you’re not a Hollywood mover and shaker, and rates for the “charming”, “retro” rooms can be “pricey”, but fans proclaim the “stunning” atmosphere “worth it"

"Cameras are forbidden in the restaurant—a favorite spot for industry types and guests alike—and the famously solicitous staff won’t blink an eye if guests are misbehaving or just lounging all day by the pool"

"The storied courtyard restaurant serves one of the best burgers and spaghetti Bolognese in L"

"The adjacent around-the-clock restaurant provides 24-hour room and patio service"

"We secretly hope we get to meet the Executive Chef, Carolyn Spence, who’s behind the Chateau Marmont and next door’s Bar Marmont’s restaurants"
