Château Marmont

As the name suggests, this place looks like a castle in France; The Chateau Marmont is a hotel built in West Hollywood, California in 1927 and modeled after the Chateau Amboise in France’s Loire Valley. This is truly the most noteworthy hotel in Hollywood history (originally it was an apartment building). In its early days virtually everyone important in the film industry stayed or partied here. In later years, all the greats of rock and roll hung out here including John Lennon and Jim Morrison. .
