One of West Hollywood's top luxury hotels and a destination with a storied musical past
Sunset Marquis is a coveted place for celebrities and travelers to stay while visiting the Los Angeles area
Home to Nightbird Studios, one of the top recording studios in the world, where everyone from Aerosmith to U2 to Usher have recorded hits
This resort-like sanctuary is within walking distance of the famous sunset strip
And you never know who you might see while staying here. Clause Messner is showing me around the hotel and bar 1,200
I've seen a lot of recognizable faces in these photos. Oh, absolutely, yeah
This was the place, you know, where people came. They went down to the recording studio, worked down there at the same time they came up here
The sunset was the first one with a real professional setup where you could record
24 having a full professional top recording studio combined with the hotel was unique at that time and still seems to be unique nowadays Well I already seen a few celebrities in my short time here so I can only imagine what going to happen tonight when I come down to the bar and have a few drinks
Who knows, I may even go cut a record. Bands can roll into the parking garage and surface inside the hotel's enclave where they can lounge pool side, grab a drink or record, away from the paparazzi
To service the entertainment industry, we do have an underground parking option for two buses
which try to sneak in and sneak out and being less seen
You know, that's how I was rolling in today. I appreciated that you did that for me
It's really... Absolutely. Absolutely great. I mean, he looked amazing on our security system
What I think is cool is that I could actually stay here as a traveler amongst the great stars of our day and stars of the past
Well, and as you said, you've been part of the world. of that now based on your entrance
Yeah, that's true. Thanks for that. So you don't have to be an A-lister to feel like one
On your trip to West Hollywood
