Last I heard, Chateau Marmont has planned to turn into a private club. It has been a public hotel and eating establishment my whole life.

Transferred to LA from Denver back in the mid-1970’s. I was a sales executive in the trucking industry and headed up one of our largest sales forces in the U.S.. In the colder months, typically November thru March we had a lot of visitors, both from corporate, and favored customers from around the country who we were expected to entertain. It was a real burden on the LA sales force entertaining customers three or four nights a week. It was like give me a break boss, I entertained customers at Chasen’s, or the Brown Derby last week, someone else’s turn. Had to agree because I did more than my fair share and was sick of what most would be considered a opulent expense account life style.

I looked into going there couple of years ago. 400 for a small room not in a good area of hotel. Not the ‘experience’ I was hoping for but still considering for future. Doggone them if the do that..
