This book is about the Chateau Marmont, a hotel that was once an apartment building, located in California. This hotel played host to many stars of the day, and the walls have seen a lot and have many stories to tell. Desi Arnez stayed here when he fought with Lucille Ball. Jean Harlow had a suite here. Bette Davis almost burned the place down on two occasions. Sharon Tate lived there and moved out just before her murder. A lot of bands and writers have stayed here over the years, including Jim Morrison and Led Zepplin. I love books like this about historic buildings, and I have a couple of books similar to this that I am really looking forward to. This was a really interesting book, and I would recommend it for anyone interested in California history or who likes stories about celebrities.
