No title

Something of interest. I bought an old dresser about 15 years ago. Inside was an ashtray from the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood Ca. Just wondering how old it is. IT was made my Ashtray Specialty CO. in CHicago. Any info? I am at clk1941@aol.com. 69.133.2.183 (talk) 11:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

List of clebrities

THIS ARTICLE IS JUST A PITHY LIST OF CELEBS WHO HAVE STAYED THERE. Where is an Admin when you need one? This should be edited to bring it up to standard. I cant imagine Britannica would allow something of such a low standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.255.180.49 (talk) 14:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

i removed the list of celebrities section. complete waste of time. nearly every celebrity has stayed at the chateau, keeping lists of something notable by a celebrity there makes sense. Minnaert (talk) 19:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Left the laundry list in place

I did a quick copy edit and removed the CE tag. I did leave the "laundry list" tag in place. Quill and Pen (talk) 02:04, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

In the Sandman Slim novels, by Richard Kadrey, there is a 64th room that is used by the Devil when he visits Hollywood. It exists in a pocket dimension and entered by going through a grandfather clock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.82.251.69 (talk) 17:27, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Los Angeles or West Hollywood

Chateau Marmont is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, so how could it be in West Hollywood, which has its own system of historical designation, "cultural resources"? Here is google maps showing the border of the city and here it is zoomed in enough to see where the hotel is. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 01:37, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Article name: 'Chateau Marmont Hotel' or just 'Chateau Marmont'

What's the thinking behind including "Hotel" in the article title? It is a hotel, but that word isn't a part of the formal name. Even in early advertising from the 1920s, the establishment is simply called "Chateau Marmont" – WikkanWitch (talk) 10:04, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Chateau Marmont HotelChateau Marmont – The word "Hotel" is not in the common name of the subject. Please see the following various articles in The Times London, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Christian Science Monitor, Architectural Digest, and The Los Angeles Times for reference, none of which refer to it as "Chateau Marmont Hotel".

  • Support Majority of article's references (and Google News search results) seem to use just "Chateau Marmont". And the addition of "Hotel" is not necessary to achieve WP:PRECISION. Colin M (talk) 04:27, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Conditionally support, but might prefer move to Chateau Marmont (hotel) instead, for standardization and consistency? Doug Mehus (talk) 01:22, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Support (of course, as I proposed this), and I also note that the (hotel) suffix isn't consistently used in article names for hotels. The London hotel Claridge's, for example, has no such qualification. Simply renaming to Chateau Marmont would be consistent with the Claridge's model. WikkanWitch (talk) 13:38, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
