MOUND CASTLE
Read moreThis famous hotel has been classified as a historic cultural monument in Los Angeles since 1976. And as a result, it's a cornerstone of Hollywood heritage.
Originally, this is a set of luxury apartments that Fred Horowitz, a famous lawyer from Los Angeles, built in 1926. It is his brother-in-law who realizes this magnificent building inspired by the Amboise Castle in France. Named after the street name which crosses the front of the property, the complex becomes the Château Marmont.
The castle then became a hotel in 1931. The apartments become suites and are furnished by artist Albert E. Smith, who is the property of rich personalities to complete his original decoration. It gives birth to the "Marmont Look" which means a unique decoration of wood, velvet, a blend of chic bric. Later, the hotel also welcomes bungalows in the modernist style from the 1950 s.
Finally, the castle is bought by André Balazs of the Hotels AB group. If the hotel wants to keep the style and decoration so special of the hotel, the spirit of the place is preserved, but almost all the rooms are rethought and renovated.Imagine Greta Garbo in Queen Christine! A true legend, this dark and tragic castle stands atop a steep coast. Hidden in a corner, he surprises you. Of course, in Hollywood, it is for laughs and there is nothing to fear in this eagle lair where you will go incognito and enjoy an exceptional place. The building was built in 1926, on the model of one of the Loire castles, adapted to Hollywood fashion without yet making cardboard. Its Gothic openings and twisted walls give a little magic to the hotel. But above all, we admire its cottages and suites that have welcomed the greatest names of cinema and music for long stays, making Château Marmont a kind of «rite of passage» for each respectful artist. In 2010, Sofia Coppola paid tribute to this Hollywood institution in his film Somewhere. In 2017, the British crooner Jarvis Cocker and eccentric pianist Chilly Gonzales recorded Room 29, a magnificent album that transcribed the atmosphere of this emblematic place of Hollywood golden age.
If you are in the corner, enjoy the beautiful property and enjoy the pleasure of a coffee or lunch in this cinema decor.
FARMER'S MARKET
Read moreThe Farmers Market has been the gourmet destination of the Angelenos since the summer of 1934, during which a group of farmers first joined in order to sell their products at the corner of 3 rd Street and Fairfax. More than 75 years later, the L.A. Farmers Market welcomes millions of visitors every year, while remaining a lurk for the residents of the neighborhood who always come to supply themselves.
