Resurrecting the Marmont
Article Abstract:
Andre Balazs redesigned West Hollywood's dilapidated Chateau Marmont Hotel without despoiling the European flavor which had kept it one of Los Angeles' most popular hotels. Balazs' design primarily aimed at impressing an early to mid-twentieth century elegance upon the hotel's interior, while redoing the landscape to create a sense of aesthetic continuity between the main hotel building and surrounding bungalows and cottages. Patrons of the old Chateau have been agreeably surprised by Balazs' restoration efforts.
