While in LA, friends stayed in a bungalow at the famous Chateau Marmont and we spent a lazy afternoon lounging at the pool. I just had to share it with you!
Nestled into the Hollywood Hills above Sunset Boulevard, the hotel offers extreme privacy and actually feels more 'east coast' then Hollywood.
Right under the disturbing billboard James Franco put up in honor of Brad Renfro (seen above) is the pool where we had bottles of rose and fresh cherries delivered while dangling our feet into the near bathwater temperature water; heaven.
Built in 1929, the hotel feels like a relic stuck in time, in the best way possible. I loved this patio furniture.
The bungalows are behind the pool along a series of heavily planted pathways with charming surprises around each corner like this little water feature.
The doors have arched sidelights and beautiful stained glass which look to be inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The front door leads directly into a casually furnished living room .
The design throughout speaks of the arts and crafts movement and every little detail could be original to the hotel's building.
Each bungalow has a small kitchen that I imagine myself spending most of my time.
Love the high painted wood wainscoting and wallpaper.
No dishwasher here - we're back in time afterall! I'm not sure I'd want to cook a full meal on this vintage stove, but it's a charming place to warm up water for tea or leftovers. My grandparents had a similar stove and refrigerator in their basement that were original to their house and I always just loved the look of them.
If you ever find yourself in LA, I highly recommend a stay at the Chateau! For more pictures and information -visit the post by HabituallyChic from last year HERE.
