Sunset Marquis Hotel & Villas

Sunset Marquis Hotel & Villas Review

If you're in town to cut your new hit single, you'll appreciate the two on-site recording studios here. Many a rocker has called the Sunset Marquis home—check out their oversize portraits lining the walls of the hotel's exclusive Bar 1200. But even the musically challenged will appreciate this property on a quiet cul-de-sac just off the Sunset Strip. Suites and ultraprivate villas, which are set amid lush gardens, are roomy and plush (ultrasuede bed throws and flat-screen TVs abound). Windows are as soundproof as they come; blackout curtains ensure total serenity. Forty new villas are lavish with extras: kitchens, fireplaces, room-size bathrooms, and on-call butlers available to handle everything from unpacking to booking spa appointments.
