The Charlie Hotel
English * Bungalow * Hideaway
Message from The Charlie Hotel
In the heart of the city, steps away from the Sunset Strip, an old legend has come home, and old Hollywood has been returned to its former glory. A collection of 14 bungalows sit at the edge of a stunning garden, each with a history embedded in its walls -- secrets of a bygone era. In this sprawling city, it stands as testament to the past, captured in all its beauty. As you stroll through the garden under the gaze of the stars, amidst fruit trees and vines, you can feel the creative spirit of the open air nightlife of Hollywood society. It is a place where time truly stands still and the city seems miles away. We invite you to discover The Charlie, and be a part of the history and magic of the Hollywood legends.

Secreted away from the wild crawl of the Sunset Strip is where you'll find this picturesque English hideaway that was once home to Charlie Chaplin. Now, the iconic property, which was originally built in 1924, has been restored with 14 bungalows (11 of which are for B&B use, the other three for long-term stays), gorgeous gardens and that sort of insouciant Hollywood glamour a la Chateau Marmont. Each of the bungalows is named for the famous people who stayed there like Marilyn Monroe and Gloria Swanson. Reserve the Marlene or Betty ($350 daily) or Valentino ($500 daily, $10,000 per month) and you can live--at least for one night--like a Hollywood legend.Key Points
- Heart of West Hollywood
- 14 Fully Furnished Bungalows
- Personal Attention

I'm finally Home!
by Nursedelrio
My family and I moved here from Washington a few months ago. The first place we rented was a home in Malibu. We lasted only one month there, due to the high rent, unlivable conditions and an unreasonable landlord. I was about to give up when my daughter found, on the net, a place called The Charlie. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by the nicest woman, who showed us all the available bungalows for rent.My family and I couldn't believe our eyes, it was as if we had landed on an oasis.The rentals were all beautiful and reasonably priced and if that wasn't enough, the rent included everything from free cable to free cleaning service. Not only is the owner the most hospitable person I ever met but the entire staff is courteous and helpful. The only problem I'm having is that I never want to leave this shangrila.
Pros: Great Accommodations
Cons: There are no drawbacks
