For 90 years, Hollywood’s brightest stars have favored the Chateau Marmont as a home away from home. An apartment house-turned-hotel, it has been the backdrop for generations of gossip and folklore. Shawn Levy recounts the wild revelries and scandalous liaisons, the creative breakthroughs and marital breakdowns. Vivid, salacious, and richly informed, The Castle on Sunset (Doubleday) is a glittering tribute to Hollywood as seen from inside the walls of its most hallowed hotel.
