About this venue

Designed in 1929 by architect Leland A. Bryant, the Sunset Tower quickly became a West Hollywood icon. Its striking Art Deco style, Sunset Strip location, and celebrity residents—including Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Howard Hughes—secured its legendary status. Originally a luxury apartment building, it featured cutting-edge amenities for its time, like electric outlets in every bathroom and oversized windows showcasing sweeping views. The building became a symbol of glamour, appearing in films like The Italian Job and Get Shorty, and was first mentioned in literature in Raymond Chandler’s Farewell, My Lovely. Today, the Sunset Tower remains one of Hollywood’s most storied landmarks.
