“Chateau” in French means “castle,” and that’s exactly what it looks like, a towering white fortress overlooking the city. The city of LA is said to be among the most haunted in the nation, and the infamously haunted Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard is no exception.Ĭonstructed in 1929 at the dawn of the film industry, the Chateau Marmont is one of Hollywood’s most iconic staples. In a city overflowing with stars, it’s no wonder some of them have stuck around long after their spotlights have gone out. The legendary Hollywood walk of fame pays tribute to the stars both living and dead, and visitors can even trace over the handprints of Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

Beneath the iconic Hollywood sign perched on Mount Lee lie legendary studios like Paramount Pictures, Universal, and Warner Brothers. Situated in the rolling, sunny hills of Southern California, the sprawling City of Angels is known as the beating heart and soul of the film industry.
