The poolside bistro is the best place for a morning cappuccino before the city wakes up. Just don't forget your sunglasses, you're in Hollywood after all.
11:02 AM
Take a ride to Melrose Place for some big-brand shopping. Start from Soho Home on Melrose Avenue and walk to the famous pink wall of the Paul Smith Flagship.
12:30 PM
Over in Fairfax, hit up Jon & Vinnys for towering plates of spicy vodka fusilli, a banging playlist and the sweetest vanilla soft serve.
2:36 PM
Spend the afternoon back at the pool. Live the life of Johnny Marco, the main character of Somewhere – a Sofia Coppola film that puts the hotel at its heart. For drinks, snacks or a bowl of crispy french fries – a phone is nearby for orders.
5:59 PM
Hike up to Griffith Observatory in time for sunset. It's always crowded but for a good reason. Views sweep all over Los Angeles – from the Hollywood sign to DTLA.
8:00 PM
The crowd here is cool – from Hollywood actors and industry creatives – but celebrity spotting is secondary. Settle in, the air is timeless, with some crusty French bread with butter before swirly plates of spaghetti bolognese.
9:12 PM
After hours are open, head inside for the bar (interiors are Gothic and good), plus there is a vinyl station. The bartender makes a mean old fashioned and their secret tipple, the forbidden fizz is made with whisky, angostura bitters and grenadine.

This is some of the best food in LA, and it's evident with the quality of ingredients they make shine on the menu. Californian wine (Napa Valley, we see you) and fresh fruit and vegetables are abundant.
California devastatingly suffers from drought and extreme flooding, so the Chateau works hard in serious water prevention throughout the hotel.
They're very proactive in waste management, making a concerted effort to minimise and reduce consumption.
