Few hotels are as iconic as Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont. Having played host to many a rising—and fading—star, been the infamous final resting place of John Belushi and Helmut Newton, and even had the bulk of a Sofia Coppola film shot there, the Chateau’s stories are as legendary as its guests.
The best work-kept secret of Hollywood, the courtyard is the kind of establishment you can enjoy a BLT with shoestring fries on Oscars night alongside a motley crew of Courtney Love, Josh Hartnett and Billie Piper. It doesn’t make sense, you say? It does at the Chateau.
Now you can take a piece of the downplayed glamour home with you—a beautiful set of two Chateau Marmont decks of playing cards. Beautifully packaged in a rich dark wood case with a glass lid engraved with the inscription “Play with Me”, the set is yours for a mere $45. Perfect for your next impromptu game of bungalow strip poker. What happens at the Chateau, stays at the Chateau.
