Chateau Marmont: Hollywood’s Most Notorious Hideout in the 60s & 70s

Hello dolls, 🌼 and welcome to: Chateau Marmont: Hollywood’s Most Notorious Hideout in the 60s & 70s! Perched above Sunset Boulevard, the Chateau Marmont opened in 1929 as a luxury apartment building modeled after France’s Château d’Amboise. Converted into a hotel in 1931, its thick soundproof walls, private kitchens, and discreet staff quickly made it a sanctuary for Hollywood’s elite. Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn famously advised his actors, “If you must get into trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont.” From the beginning, it attracted scandal and secrecy. Jean Harlow’s alleged affair with Clark Gable unfolded here while she was briefly living at the hotel. Howard Hughes spent months in the penthouse, spying on women sunbathing by the pool. Director Nicholas Ray moved into Bungalow 2 in the early 1950s after a personal scandal involving his wife and teenage son. He developed "Rebel Without a Cause" there, hosting James Dean, Dennis Hopper, and Natalie Wood in a haze of creativity and late-night parties. By the late 1960s, the Chateau’s worn elegance drew a new crowd: rock stars and counterculture figures who valued its privacy and tolerance. Jim Morrison of The Doors lived in a poolside bungalow, climbed the building while high, and once fell from a balcony, later joking it was the “eighth of his nine lives.” Led Zeppelin’s stay was so chaotic they were moved out of the main building after allegedly dragging naked groupies through the halls on a stolen room service cart. Pink Floyd swam nude in the moonlit pool until management finally asked them to stop. Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski lived in an upper-floor suite in 1968, hosting glamorous gatherings for Warren Beatty, Mia Farrow, and Jack Nicholson before moving to Cielo Drive. Inside, the Chateau was equal parts creative retreat and den of excess. Graham Nash nursed a broken heart after his split with Joni Mitchell, writing songs in his bungalow. Neil Young stayed while deciding to release "Tonight’s the Night", and the Velvet Underground used it as a base during their Los Angeles sessions. Gram Parsons was a familiar face around the pool until his death in 1973. By the 1970s, the hotel had physically declined: threadbare carpets, faded furniture, and a shabby charm - but its notoriety only grew. Many guests came to disappear: actors between films, musicians between tours, and starlets avoiding the press. In 1975, new owners Raymond Sarlot and Karl Kantarjian restored much of the property and secured historic landmark status, but the wild stories continued. The most infamous moment came in 1982, when comedian John Belushi died of a drug overdose in Bungalow 3. Friends Robert De Niro and Robin Williams had visited him just hours before. The scandal made headlines worldwide and cemented the Chateau’s darker reputation. In the decades since, discretion has remained its greatest currency. Staff sign non-disclosure agreements, photography is discouraged, and celebrities still check in knowing the golden rule: "What happens at the Chateau stays at the Chateau." Helmut Newton photographed models in its rooms, Leonard Cohen called it “like living in a poem". From Jean Harlow to Clark Gable, Howard Hughes to James Dean, Natalie Wood to Jim Morrison, Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd, Sharon Tate to Jack Nicholson, Gram Parsons to Graham Nash, Robert De Niro to John Belushi - the Chateau Marmont has been home to Hollywood’s wildest stories. Nearly a century on, it stands not just as a hotel, but as a monument to scandal, survival, rock ’n’ roll, and the enduring mystique of Los Angeles. “You can check out any time you like... but you can never leave,” the Eagles warned and the Chateau Marmont has been proving them right for decades.
