Andre Balazs is a hotel and residential developer who revived and restored the Chateau Marmont in 1990.
A classic, first published by Rizzoli Universe in the 1990s, now brought back into print: the insider's view of Hollywood as narrated by famed guests who visited or resided at the Chateau Marmont over its 100-year history.
If the walls could talk, this would be the great story of Hollywood. Through the lens of the legendary Chateau Marmont, Hollywood's hippest and hottest haunt, comes an extraordinary, glamorous, and fierce history and exquisite literary collection baring the stars, the landscape, and the ever-changing mood of America's most absorbing town as narrated by legends including William Faulkner, Eve Babitz, Dominick Dunne, Gore Vidal, Jay McInerney, and many others.
Rare and original texts, heart-stopping photography-including images by Helmut Newton, Wolfgang Tillmans, Sofia Coppola, and Bruce Weber-and decades of gossip and anecdotes take the reader from film to rock and roll, from scandals to masterpieces, from starlets to moguls, and from studios to bungalows in an unprecedented tour of Hollywood from the Golden Age to this morning's wake-up call. A beloved classic, Hollywood Handbook's cult is summarized best by Jarvis Cocker: "I've been carrying this book around for 20 years. Things happen at Chateau Marmont. Mythical, glamourous, sexy, wonderful, tragic things..."

Paperback. Etat : New. The come-back of the year! Available again for the first time since 1996. This is Hollywood through the prism of its most legendary dormitory. The story of the Chateau Marmont parallels the story of Hollywood so thoroughly as to be inseparable from it.It s possible that no hotel in America inspires so much nostalgia, speculation, and sheer devotion. -- VANITY FAIR. As happens in literature, where the hero sooner or later turns up at a hotel, so it happens that seemingly every creative talent in Hollywood eventually checks in at the Chateau. To paraphrase Somerset Maugham, speaking of another illustrious hotel in the Far East, the Chateau stands for all the fables of exotic Hollywood. Call it the vantage from the Citadel of Boheme. The result is not only an extraordinary oeuvre of films, music, and literature created in and about the Chateau, but also an attitude and a perspective of the surrounding culture. THE CHATEAU MARMONT S HOLLYWOOD HANDBOOK, a classic edited by Andre Balazs, is now available for the first time since the late 1990s. Between these covers is a collection of facts and fiction about a certain place, throughout nearly a century. It is about the icons of an evolving neighborhood, the ethos of an evolving culture. The result is not only an extraordinary oeuvre of films, music and literature created in and about the Chateau, but also an attitude and a perspective of the surrounding culture. Checking into the hotel is like stepping into a living history. It s out of time, suspended from the constraints, the issues, the concerns of the real world In a city without a center, you could call this spot the epicenter: this is where deals are made where love is won or lost sometimes all in one night.
