The Sunset Marquis Hotel is a private Mediterranean-style all-suite hotel that has undergone a $25 million dollar expansion and is the ultimate get-away-from it all. Accommodations range from 100 spacious junior & 1 bedroom suites in the main building & 52 detached, multi-room villas w/ private patios that evoke the architectural style of southern France. Located a short walk from the Sunset Strip, but it's a world away with 5 acres of lush gardens, waterfalls, and tropical foliage. In addition, there is the dark & sexy Bar 1200, SPA & RESTAURANT, 2 pools, private cabanas, weight room & Nightbird, our state-of-the-art recording studio. The villas surround guests w/ indulgent amenities in a modern comfortable setting with spa-like bathrooms. The crown jewel is the 2 story Presidential Villa, featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 3 fireplaces & a choice of a Bentley, SUV, or Limo.
I'm used to paying a lot for a nice hotel, but this place is pushing $500 a night for the economy suite. Yes it's very nice and fancy but I can stay five nights at the Hojo for that.

So cool and so hidden
by jay2002
Hard to believe that this place is a step away from equinox and a block from the sunset strip, and its a) hidden b) an oasis. its basically chateau marmont but a bit more discreet and hidden, i've been there for lunch it was quiet and water fountains all around you, and a cool but understated crowd. just sending my guests from australia to go try it. worth checking it out in my view. oh yeah and food i had a salad, but everything looked pretty good and service was nice too.
Pros: lush gorgeous setting
Cons: reservations probably required

Little Hidden Paradise on Sunset
by Annouchka
My husband and I went to RESTAURANT and had a great time. They serve great cocktails, great appetizers and the view of the garden is gorgeous. It is very laidback, the staff is very nice. It is a bit hidden so you have to look for it. When you enter the Marquis, go though the Lobby, the pool will be on your right and you will make a left. Walk though a small corridor and then you will see a beautiful garden and the restaurant is on your right. Enjoy!
Pros: Garden Area - Cocktails
Cons: None

Great Hidden Place!
by redlawgrrl
The restaurant has great food and great service. The garden area is a real surprise if you haven't been back there. The lounge is also very happening and pours a nice proper drink thatthis gal likes. Only gripe is an employee in the lounge named Nick who was rude to a number of the patrons there but was nice to me. Although, most men are...LOL!
Pros: You must be in the know!
Cons: Just that Nick person...Kept me from from giving all 5 stars...

Not as rock 'n' roll as you might think
by marpop
Bear in mind that I stayed here before the major remodeling, but our room was one of the updated ones and I have to say I was surprised that it was not as cool as I thought it would be. This place has a rock 'n' roll reputation and I guess I was expecting more of a Vegas Hard Rock aesthetic/scene. While it was clean and spacious (almost too spacious -- our suite could've used an extra chair or couch or .. something), it just didnt have any pizzaz. The real highlight of the place is the dark little bar (Keanu is a regular!) that has oversized black-and-white signed photos of rockers like Slash and i-forgot-who-else. The restuaurant is also pretty good -- I've had a number of meetings there. A lot quieter than I expected, but I guess when they're not on stage, this is the kind of thing rock stars are looking for. Am curious to see if it's any different now that the new villas have been built.
Pros: Cool bar, celeb-spotting
Cons: Expensive

Great Hotel, cool staff and I always enjoy the bar scene. After long night do bloody marys in the sauna & swim.

I stay here quite a bit on business and love it. Great LA vibe and feel. Excellent Lobby bar and pool patio to entertain friends or meet new ones. Always a very smooth check-in. I stay in Villa 1 North and like the large layout and big jacuzzi tub. Room service is sometimes slow. I rarely ever eat at Hotel because the walk upto Sunset is so close to such great places to eat, all right there on Sunset Plaza Drive. Taxis are easy to get in front of hotel or like I said just walk. Friday & Saturday night Lobby bar is a mob scene. Leave your friends name at velvet rope bouncers list or they won't get in. Forget about quiet get away from the city oasis. Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic looking place but it's a rock and roll hotel. Live it up. Keep the kids at home.
Pros: Great Location
Cons: crowds
