If you ever wondered what Anthony Kiedis' living room might look like, step into the Sunset Marquis' Bar 1200, a favorite low-key hangout for Rockers.
Tucked to the left of the hotel's entrance, the dim, cozy bar at the space formerly known as Whisky Bar has just five or so stools. If one of those aren't available, the low leather banquettes and ottomans on either side of the room provide a place for patrons to post in their jeans and T-shirts. Smokers favor a small patio area lined with more low leather seating; oddly enough, the patio is situated right below a hotel room's balcony. (We're guessing that room isn't for early risers.) If the topic of conversation isn't so-and-so's latest hit single, so-and-so's brother's new record deal, or who is recording in the hotel's basement studio, it will likely be about photographer Ross Halfin's dozen portraits of rockers like Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper and Roger Daltrey that line the bar's walls. —Enid Portuguez
