"Charlie Chaplin bought the West Hollywood property in the 1920s and built what stands there today: a collection of Tudor cottages surrounding an English garden — an homage to his native country. The Charlie excels on this front, with 14 suites spread through 9 cottages, named for Chaplin’s famous former guests. Marilyn’s patio was ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The whole property is quiet and serene, with a residential vibe that was great for my family’s short stay, but even better for long-term lodgers." - Mark Fedeli
