Everyone has a place they travel to that is often more of a home than their actual one. No surprise to those who have heard me rave about it—some say, to extremes—that the Chateau Marmont is mine.

At least I’m not alone. Owned and operated by André Balazs for the past 18 years, and months from its 80th anniversary, the hotel strictly protects its illustrious guests’ privacy. Leaking “names” is forbidden. But a regular inhabitant there cannot help but meet and often befriend others in residence, famous or not. And over the years, many have told me their tales of extended stints, and how the Gothic castle on Sunset has taken them in.
