Chateau Marmont a.k.a. Chateau Charmant

I'm in L.A. this week doing a swimwear shoot at the Chateau Marmont. This place has been something of a legendary hotspot since Hollywood's golden era, and continues to be a meeting point for the superstars. 

Perhaps it's because it's somewhat ramshackled - in contrast to the 'perfection' of the rest of Hollywood, that it's continuously in favour with the great and good. Whatever it is, it's totally won me over.

I love the 1950s vibe of the bungalows and cottages, it feels like scene out of Mad Men. 

Now I'm just waiting for my Don Draper to walk through the door!
