Sunset Marquis

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The Sunset Marquis is such a beautiful setting. The staff bent over backwards to provide service and accommodate requests. We booked the Superior Double Suite for our family of four. It was incredibly spacious and immaculate. The bathroom was massive, including the shower (which had a wonderful rainfall in the middle, and a traditional to the side if preferred) The beds were extremely comfortable, I slept like a queen. Initially the cost per night for the room was higher than I might usually book, but after factoring in parking, a breakfast credit and drinks the value for the experience was there. You also have access to a gym, which we ran out of time to utilize. They are renovating some of the villas. They are doing a really wonderful job keeping it quiet and out of focus. The two pools were very relaxing all with fresh towels. Valet was super quick and friendly. I don't believe there is an option to self-park. The hotel is nestled in a quiet street with a mix of houses and other nice hotels. It feels like you're in a neighborhood, which is so nice. The restaurant Cavatina was so tranquil. Outstanding food, beautiful tropical like setting, and excellent service. Bar 1200 is equally exceptional. There was an excellent keyboard player when we stopped in Tuesday night. Such a fun end to the day. The location, in my opinion is perfect. I can't wait to plan my next trip, Sunset Marquis is at the top of my list for my next visit.

My wife and I booked a four night stay at The Sunset Marquis Hotel. Not only did the Manger graciously comp us for one night, we were given a complimentary upgrade from a King Suite to a Villa. The Villa was truly a five star setting. I have stayed at five star luxury hotels throughout the United States, Canada and Europe and the elegance of the Villa at The Sunset Marquis Hotel is equal to that of the suites Biltmore Mayfair in London, the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan, etc. And the excellent concierge service—24/7—included room service, booking reservations at restaurants, info about local attractions and events, etc. The Sunset Marquis Hotel is a beautiful hideaway in the heart of Hollywood nestled in a lush Zin-like garden oasis. You won’t go wrong booking a stay, respite or retreat at this property. For me and my wife it was truly a wonderful experience. Sincerely, Dr. Victor Leo Walker, II

A well located hotel with great staff. The big problem for us was the soundproofing. We were originally in room 117 on the ground floor, which is big but quite gloomy with plants growing in front of the windows. We're not particularly light sleepers but we were woken up three times during the night, either by the plumbing or by the person in the room overhead walking around at 2 am. We went to see front desk the next morning and they were kind enough to move us straight away to a smaller but much nicer room on the third floor, overlooking the pool. The only issue with the room was the bathroom door which had rails at the top but was swinging free at the bottom, so very cumbersome and awkward to use. This time, we had nobody overhead, but we were woken up every morning by the lady in the room next door, making phone calls from 6:30 am onwards, requesting room service or calling her friends to discuss her upcoming surgery and various other issues that I am sure she would not normally share with complete strangers. We didn't mention it at front desk this time because there's not much they could have done, but we were surprised that a hotel of this standing would have such terrible soundproofing. A huge pity, because it is a really nice place.

We stayed for three nights at the beginning of our vacation and returned for another three nights on the way back. During our first stay, we had a room with a balcony overlooking the main pool (there are two pools in total). The room was a good size, with a spacious bathroom and a large shower. For our second stay, we were upgraded to a villa near the restaurant—again, a great space with an impressively sized bathroom. The gardens & koi pond are beautiful. The memorabilia around the hotel is also very interesting. We had dinner at Cavatina one night and enjoyed drinks each evening at Bar 1200. The staff were all exceptionally friendly—special thanks to Sandrine, Logan, Josh, Peter, and Ray. The hotel car was an added bonus. We also met some interesting fellow guests during our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights at the Sunset Marquis as the first stop on our Honeymoon California road trip. 3 nights was not long enough! We absolutely loved the hotel, it was warm and welcoming, full of cool music nostalgia, delicious food and drinks, amazing room etc. Little did I know the Anthony Hopkins would be stood by the very same guitar 3 weeks later! We loved meeting Logan (hope you found your ring). We were extremely lucky to be able to experience a night in Bar 1200 on our last night in the presence of the extremely talented Adam Chester & Charlie Hay, WOW! Thank you to the staff for our wonderful honeymoon gesture, so lovely! The hotel is private, off the beaten track and is such a gem. We can't wait to visit this incredible hotel again one day.
