Sunset Marquis Hotel - If They Were Any More Hollywood Their Pool Would Be Shallow At Both Ends

I am living it up like Rock Star here at the boutique Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, on a discreet cul-de-sac just off the Sunset Plaza section of the Sunset Strip. This hotel is where all the rock stars (and rappers) stay when they are in town. Photos taken here on the premises of Guns & Roses, Billy Bob Thornton, U2, and Steven Tyler (just to name a few) decorate the inside and outside areas.


NightBird, a state-of-the-art recording and film production studio is located downstairs which is why rock stars and film production companies make the Sunset Marquis their home away from home.

An extended 8 day booking has brought me here once again to see a Producer who has booked me before. We hit it off and became dear friends who truly enjoy each other's company aside from things of a more intimate nature. Its so nice to spend quality time with someone you can relate to and love chatting with while relaxing. His hurried lifestyle does not afford him much opportunity to let go so he has to make time for more pleasurable pursuits in the evenings after his day of filming on-set and the requisite business dinners. I'm his "personal assistant" for this trip and he feels I fit in quite well in such a professional situation - I look, act and dress the part.





Last summer when I spent a week here with the same benefactor, I kept running into Kevin Costner because his production company had set up a Press Junket in one of the villas for Swing Vote PR.

During the day, when my friend is working, I take long walks down Sunset Blvd and hike way up into the Hollywood Hills. The narrow windy roads are much more steep than any stairmaster and its so lovely being outside instead of a stuffy gym. Today I walked up Doheny to the "bird streets" so named after avifauna with designations such as Bluejay Lane and Swallow Drive. Most people in LA are trapped in steel and glass cages (cars) and like the song goes "Nobody Walks in L.A."





After my workout, I return to our Villa where our butler attends to my luncheon, assuring that my meal is to my satisfaction. My biggest dilemma is deciding whether to dine-in since the Villa is so magnificent or to dine at the gorgeous indoor/outdoor restaurant. I usually start my meal in the villa and have a dessert of fresh fruit and cappuccino al fresco at the restaurant at a table above the tiled waterfall.





Los Angeles is truly a beautiful and unique city with so many options from the sea to the Hollywood Hills. Few of us get a chance to vacation in their own home city. I am relishing every minute of it.
