Even if your knowledge of Hollywood and Los Angeles is a little rusty, you will still have heard about Chateau Marmont. It ranks as one of the top hotels in LA and allows celebrities and the rich and famous to rent private villas where nobody can bother them. Bar Marmont is one of the on-site bars along the Sunset Strip. Johnny Depp sometimes visits while he's in town, and maybe you'll see Leonardo DiCaprio relaxing in the bar as well. The Sun Goddess is one of the best drinks in the lounge, featuring fresh grapes and a combination of liqueurs.
Joseph Musso and Frank Toulet founded Musso & Frank in 1919 and it soon became one of the best restaurants and bars in LA. It has an iconic appearance and a classic menu featuring steaks. The restaurant itself appeared in top movies including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Ocean's Eleven. Even the Mad Men's Don Draper stopped for an episode. Although Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe have been some of the celebrities who have visited in the past, they're just as famous today. You might see George Clooney or Brad Pitt here when you stop by for a beer.
Beauty & Essex is one of the newer bars where you can find celebrities. With more than 10,000 square feet, the bar can host private parties and has space left over for other guests.
