Books & Coffee: The Castle on Sunset
Built in 1929, in the style of a French Gothic castle, the Chateau Marmont has stood majestically on one of California's most famous streets, Sunset Boulevard. It has silently witnessed and adapted to the changing scene from an urban neighborhood outside the city limits of Los Angeles to the glamorous playground of the stars. Due to its proximity to the major Hollywood studios, it quickly became a sanctuary for Hollywood legends who sought refuge and privacy, but was also a place where the lines between art, love and tragedy often intertwined. The author unveils decades of tales from passionate romances and scandalous secrets to tragedies that echo timelessly through the halls of the Chateau Marmont.
