Venue Features
The scene:

Receptions accommodate up to 250.

Design:
In a city where few careers last more than fifteen minutes, Sunset Marquis has prospered over five decades as a luxury Hollywood hotel. What started out as a well-kept secret on a secluded residential street has matured into a world-class destination with fine dining, luxurious suites and villas, a recording studio where dozens of Grammy-winning songs have been recorded, tranquil gardens, and one of the most notorious bars anywhere.

Sure there’s been a nip here (Astroturf seemed super futuristic in the 60s), a tuck there (Avocado and gold shag carpeting was the height of 70s design, we swear), a $25 million expansion in back (in the hotel world, expansion is a good thing), but what has always defined The Sunset Marquis is its spirit, that je ne sais quoi that differentiates a legend from a trend – like, say, shag carpeting.

Sunset Marquis is 3.5 acres of Mediterranean oasis nestled on a hill just off The Sunset Strip, featuring casual luxury, an accommodating – and might we add discreet – staff, and a history that is the stuff of legend. “Party like a rock star” has become a cliché, a song lyric, and even an energy drink, but at Sunset Marquis, you can relax, dine, create and rejuvenate in the place where the phrase was invented. And at our West Hollywood hotel, you can even park your tour bus underground, if you happen to have one.

This section provides insights into our diverse culinary and social offerings.
A long time fan and guest of Sunset Marquis, this marks Michael Schlow’s first LA restaurant and he’s working closely with our Executive Chef, to present dishes at Cavatina that showcase our incredible local California product; plan on dishes with simple yet bold tastes with creative presentations, seasonal ingredients, and with a little something for everyone.

Cavatina embodies Sunset Marquis’ casual, relaxed vibe and atmosphere and offers our guests 4 courses of indulgences including Snacks, Crudo, Small Plates and Entrees, and features a wide variety of options like Oysters on Half Shell, Yellowtail with Uni & Caviar, Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Jalapeños, Charred Octopus, Prime Steak, and of course, Schlow’s Award winning Burger!

Cavatina is open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Many of these delicacies will also be featured on the in-room dining menu and offered at special events and gatherings at the hotel.
BAR 1200 isn’t a hotel bar. It’s a bar that happens to be in a hotel, befitting the personality and reputation of Sunset Marquis. BAR 1200 is a destination not just for Sunset Marquis guests, but for locals who want an intimate, private setting that serves world-class cocktails. It’s a place where celebrations are held, old friends reconnect, and new friendships are formed.

You want cozy? The interior fits about 40 people while the patio allows 25 more.
And if you feel a little extra buzz in the air, that’s not just the bourbon doing its job. This space has a history that rivals any.

Lyrics scribbled on napkins and rushed underground to Nightbird Studios below to record a hit song. Icons serving shots behind the bar to calm nerves after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Rock stars being introduced to future supermodel ex-wives. Academy Award-winning actors, directors, and writers conspiring on projects. Impromptu jam sessions among unlikely drinking partners…

Weddings
The Locations of the Most Memorable Celebrity Weddings of 2015
Remember those silly high school superlatives that seemed so important back in the day?  Poring through the year’s most famous wedding photos is kind of like that - you're instantly thinking things like, “Sofia definitely has the best smile,” and “Cameron Diaz totally wins for best musical taste,” and “Johnny is absolutely the most baller guy with his own island,” and the list goes on.  But if you pay close attention, what you really start to notice is how much personality plays a role in the venue selection for each of these wedding celebrations.   We've hand picked celebrity weddings from all around the world, some with venues anyone can book and some with pretty awesome alternative spaces.  Across the board, it seems that in 2015, Mother Nature takes a starring role in the majority of A-list weddings, with privacy being major concern number two.  While we can't say which wedding is the all around class favorite, we can probably still take votes!
