The Sunset Marquis felt very modern and has an incredible history on display. You can spend hours studying all the photographs on the wall and reminiscing. We stayed in a recently updated one-bedroom villa. The room was very spacious with a nice separate living room where we enjoyed watching movies every evening during the three days of constant rain. The grounds were beautifully maintained, and the walk to our room was incredibly peaceful. The hotel is conveniently located, with everything within about a 20-minute drive in any direction. The checkin/checkout process was so easy, the entire staff was so nice and always made a point to say hello. We are already looking forward to coming back.

This place is legendary, the service is exquisite. The people remember you the rooms are top-notch. In my opinion, it is family owned.It is modern, but it feels the essence of the old hollywood Style. A lot of famous people actors, musicians have walked through these doors. And the some have even called this place home for a while if you're going to visit west, hollywood and l, a, this is the place to stay

LOVED our stay at Sunset Marquis. Will be back here without fail everytime we visit LA. Staff are truly wonderful, rooms are super spacious and comfortable and the showers are out of this world. Rock star vibes all round and you can tell everyone that works here loves working here. Special place.

We had a unique experience in terms of service at this hotel with Nicole, Sarah and Raul. Due to a lack of information, we lost our luggage in Las Vegas and had difficulties getting it on time from there for a connecting flight to LA over night. Our three contacts were very friendly and helpful and did everything in their power in the evening/at night to find a driver for the transport and to convince the hotel in Las Vegas to hand over our luggage to him. It was only thanks to these three that we were able to continue our flight and enjoy another two weeks of holiday with our luggage. We have rarely experienced such friendliness and helpfulness and would like to thank the three of them and the driver organised by Raul once again for their commitment and wish them all the best. We will definitely be back and would recommend the hotel at any time.

Fantastic place to stay if you are in LA. Great staff, interesting history, and just a total laid back vibe. Nestled in what may be the busiest dead end road in West Hollywood, you are a hundred yards or so from Sunset and all it has to offer, and typically no more than 20-30 minutes from everything else.

Sunset Marquis truly went above and beyond for my stay, particularly the manager Sandrine who upgraded my room to a spacious suite. Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. The spa is a hidden gem—highly recommend a massage with Tyrani!
