Willis was very excited to check into Room 15 at the Marmont; neither one of us had ever stayed in that one!
Willis had to blink a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming; a private balcony above the entrance.
Looking up, this angle seemed familiar. I took the photo and hoped...
Close, but no cigar. Still, I did feel the aura of Led Zeppelin who supposedly rode their motorcycles through the lobby of the hotel back in the 1960's.
The decor at the Chateau is a mishmash of art deco, upscale linens, and shabby-chic antiques.
Somehow it all works together, making it feel like an old friend that you've known for years.
Thirsty? Everything you need for a pre-dinner cocktail is at your fingertips:
Christy rejoined us for a toe-dip into the pool:
A few traders visiting from NYC had been drinking all day at the Roosevelt Hotel; they brought the party back to the Chateau, including a gigantic blow-up swan.
Fortunately, the management ousted them from the hotel, and all was back to normal. A glass of Cabernet by the pool made it all ok.
Since the restaurant was full, we ordered room service and enjoyed dinner on the balcony.
Nighty-night; see you next time as we travel to Griffith Observatory.
