Celebrating 60 years of legendary stories and rock ‘n’ roll history this year, the Sunset Marquis is more than just a hotel; it’s a hidden gem. Nestled in the heart of West Hollywood, the hotel has long been a sanctuary for musicians and celebrities.

Rock legends like U2, Elton John and Bob Marley have not just stayed here, but they’ve also created magic within these walls.
