A West Hollywood landmark and haven to Hollywood and the international jet set since 1963, the Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas is one of the world’s best secret hideaways. Though insulated from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by lush and tranquil gardens, the hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the world renowned dining and shopping along the famed sidewalks of West Hollywood.
The accommodations themselves in this all-suite property are sanctuaries, surrounding guests in indulgent colors and materials. Clutter and over-decoration are banished in favor of spare, modern elegance. Overall, there is a distinctly urban sophistication to the rooms and attention to quality that is wholly appropriate to the hotel’s location in the center of a major metropolis, as well as to its exclusive clientele.
Each of the private, Mediterranean-style villas features magnificently decorated interiors set in majestic gardens- reminiscent of an elegant guesthouse at a friend’s estate. Rich materials such as slate, marble, mohair, and Murano glass make for soothing textural surroundings, while a subdued earth tone palette set an elegant an understated tone. The hotel’s classic appeal as a coveted hideaway and international escape attracts a long-term clientele.
As the typical stay for Sunset Marquis guests is five days or longer, dedicated dining spaces with wet bars are standard as well as separate sitting rooms with dressing areas. The on-site recording studio is popular with the plentiful music industry clientele, and contributes to the hotel’s happening, rock-and-roll social scene. Ongoing renovations- such as construction of the impressive and unprecedented Presidential Villa- are inspired by the discriminating demands of the international guests.
