Sunset Tower Hotel

Across the Sunset Strip from the Chateau Marmont's hillside grounds, Sunset Tower Hotel occupies a 1929 Art Deco tower on West Sunset Boulevard, its zigzag limestone facade rising above the billboards that mark this stretch of West Hollywood. The rooftop pool and Terrace restaurant sit eight stories up, a favored spot for industry breakfasts before Beverly Hills meetings ten minutes east.

Rooms keep original terrazzo bathrooms and brass fixtures rather than a generic renovation palette. Valet parking matters here — street spots along Sunset are scarce, and the property's location suits guests attending nearby studio lots or Sunset Strip venues without needing a car after arrival.
