Lohan Returns to Business as Usual at Chateau Marmont


Whew. You had us all worried for a second there, Chateau Marmont. We thought things were dying down and cleaning up and that the celeb meltdown scene was moving — shockingly — over to the Sunset Tower, Roosevelt and even the Avalon. But no. Now LiLo's back on the scene to keep things celebby-scary at the Marmont.

According to Perez, the newly-single (or so we hear) Lindsay Lohan is back to her old antics at the Chateau:

Apparently, after her entry to Charlotte Ronson's fashion party at Bar Marmont was barred, LOLhan tried to crash another all-girl party at the hotel, where the Ronson's were at and she booked a room.

[...] After introducing herself and encouraging them all to party, the party patrons attempted to get rid of the train wreck, shoving her out the door. LOLhan banged on the door for a minute before getting the hint and crawling off somewhere.

Oy. Lindsay, we love you, won't you please listen to Jaunted and go on an awesome, relaxing vacay somewhere? Seriously, our sweet, caring brother picked out places for you and everything. Via: Jenna - HotelChatter

Chateau Marmont Hotel & Bungalows - SocialiteTravel.com

The Penthouse @ Chateau Marmont


The Chateau Marmont is a hotel at 8221 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California built in 1927 and modeled after the Château d'Amboise in France's Loire Valley. It has served as the backdrop for a number of events in the lives of well-known rock stars and actors. Fred Horowitz, a local attorney, began construction on the hotel in 1927. His project turned into the Chateau Marmont, named for the street running across the back of the property. The Chateau Marmont opened in February 1929 as an apartment house, but high rents and the Depression kept renters away. In 1931 the building was changed to a hotel. The hotel was bought in 1990 is currently owned and managed by Hotels AB, run by celebrity hotelier Andre Balazs.

The Chateau Marmont was designed and constructed as earthquake proof, and has survived major earthquakes in 1933, 1953, 1971, 1987, and 1994 without sustaining any major structural damage. Nine cottages were built in the 1930s next to the hotel, which were acquired by the hotel in the 1940s. Two of the 4 bungalows at the Chateau Marmont were designed by Craig Ellwood in 1956 after he completed Case Study Houses. The bungalows are like miniature case study houses.

The hotel also has an exclusive, reservations-only restaurant serving California and Eclectic cuisine. The chef is Caryolynn Spence, originally of New York's Spotted Pig.
