Sleep with a slice of Hollywood history at the classic Chateau Marmont, a hipster from the Greta Garbo era. Just above Sunset Boulevard, Chateau Marmont cossets the glitterati, particularly those who take one of its elite bungalows, within the heart of happening West Hollywood. It’s favored by fashion photo shoots, starlet-toting publicists, and deal-making producers, so the poolside people-watching may be worth the room price alone. The main castlelike building dates to 1929, but renovation efforts have kept amenities and décor contemporary.

Chateau Marmont Amenities:

• 63 rooms, 7 story. Pets accepted; fee. Check-in 2 pm, check-out noon. Wireless Internet access. Restaurant. Fitness room. Outdoor pool.
