Freedom to get into and out of this hotel unobserved is said to be part of the attraction of Chateau Marmont for the stars some of whom leave in a coffin.
Referenced in Eagles song- Hotel California-
1930's Hollywood Gothic Medieval Revivalist pastiche love nest and drug den for deeply sordid scandals and publicity generating happenings. All the worst people have checked in. Years ago because it was inexpensive. Nowadays $3000. AUD /night in a villa.
Further evidence Chateau Marmont is aiming up market, some people in recent history have actually been evicted for declasse behaviour ie Britney Spears-in the garden-food on wrong part of body-banned for life- see link:
