particular favorite.

Regarding the Sunset Marquis’ future, Mark
Rosenthal shares these thoughts, “In 2023, we will
celebrate the 60 th anniversary of the Sunset Marquis
Hotel. From modest beginnings, it became,
and remains, a garden oasis for the creative class
in the midst of one of the most densely populated
and vibrant communities in greater Los Angeles -
the City of West Hollywood. As one of the few luxury
hotels that have remained in the same family for
nearly six decades, we are blessed with long-tenured
management and staff who create a genuine and
authentic hospitality experience that truly makes
the property a ‘home away from home’ for our loyal
customers – a place where they can find the room
to live and create in our spacious suites and villas,
and experience a vortex of connectivity with their
peers in the restaurant and common areas all set
in our lush gardens. Our goal for the next decade
is to continually enhance this quintessential nature
of the Sunset Marquis and introduce it to the next
generation of creative spirits as their refuge in Los
Angeles.”

and the pedigree of the Sunset Marquis
Hotel. As Slash so succinctly framed it, ‘‘It’s the

factor since 1963.’’ Even more profound are the words
of Craig Allen Williams, co-author of If These Walls
Could Rock: 50 Years At the Legendary Sunset Marquis
Hotel who opined, ‘’It’s almost like the place itself
has a beating heart and a pulse and a soul. When
you walk in the door, and you come in that awning,
it’s like you are going into this magical world.’’ P
