If these walls could talk...
There’s an old Hollywood adage that goes, “If you want to be seen, go to the Beverly Hills Hotel. If you don’t want to be seen, go to Chateau Marmont.”
Since opening its doors in West Hollywood in 1929, the legendary hotel has earned a reputation as the place for a star-studded bash. Leonardo DiCaprio had his 21st birthday there in 1995 (and allegedly filmed the whole thing). It was also, famously, where It Girls party, from Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Kim Kardashian, to Zendaya and Kaia Gerber in more recent years.
Ahead, see the best celebrity party moments in Chateau Marmont’s storied history.
