8 Classic Hollywood Hotels With Golden Age Glamour
The Golden Age of Hollywood spans over 50 years of the 20th Century and encompasses everything from the silent film era to the height of the Hollywood studio system. During this glorious time, a bevy of hotels popped up around Los Angeles that still reflect that old time glamor.
Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows Santa Monica
Why it made the list
This Santa Monica stalwart has been catering to the see-and-be-seen set since the 1920s. Leading ladies like Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, and Betty Grable were all fixtures--in fact, Garbo lived at the hotel for several years. Today, this classic spot still features ocean-front views, caters to a high-minded crowd, and lives up to its Golden Age and modern day reputation.
Chateau Marmont Hotel
Why it made the list
Built in 1929, this French castle has played host to luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Billy Wilder, and Dorothy Parker. John Belushi infamously overdosed in one of the bungalows and Hunter S. Thompson was a regular. Today, Lindsay Lohan can be seen getting thrown out while Terry Richardson photographs models in the historic hallways.
