While many critics question her fashion choices, the Los Angeles hotels wrecked by Lindsay Lohan, are some of the best hotels for the money in town. Show Business is an unforgiving industry – and so, apparently, is hospitality, which Hollywood starlet and tabloid queen Lindsay Lohan has learned in recent years after being blacklisted by numerous hotels in LA.
Despite her ‘celebrity’ status, the hotels that Lilo used to frequent are relatively affordable given the level of service and amenities offered, especially if you catch one of the LosAngeles.com hotel deals. For those really intrigued by the lifestyles of the rich and infamous, be sure to check out these Los Angeles hotels wrecked by Lindsay Lohan.
Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica
Known as one of the most luxurious seaside jaunts in the Los Angeles area, Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica combines the flash of Hollywood with the stately comforts of the Northeast. Lindsay Lohan and her mother Dina recently tried to check in but were turned away unceremoniously as Lohan is reported to have done extensive damage to one of their rooms when she was a guest back in 2007. Yes, even celebrities known to party hard get blacklisted for their bad behavior. For those who can keep the peace, however, Shutters offers a wide array of guest amenities, including an oceanfront pool, health club with steam room, and cottage-style rooms that engender an estate-like ambience. Like the Loews hotel listed below, this hotel is just a few feet from the beachfront bike and walking path that stretches over 30 miles along the pacific coast.
Another hotel in Santa Monica frequented by the stars but which wishes to have no association with Lindsay Lohan and her wild ways is the Loews Hotel. The establishment recently turned away Lohan, claiming to have “no rooms available”, though many in the know interpret this as a polite way of the hotel telling Lohan it has no desire to deal with her notorious behavior or her unpaid hotel bills. The Loews Hotel is another popular spot with tourists that want that classic carefree California feeling with easy access to the beach and premium shopping. Its famous oceanfront pool offers unbeatable poolside service, bested only by the many amazing firepits that guests use to warm up after the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean. This is an ideal place to stay for either business or leisure, or if you simply want to experience luxury that indulges but never feels pretentious.
Of all the Los Angeles hotels wrecked by Lindsay Lohan, the one she probably regrets trashing the most is the Chateau Marmont. Once described by Lohan as her favorite place to stay when in Hollywood, she ended up being banned from the Chateau Marmont after failing to pay a $46,000 bill. (Jim Belushi, one of many celebrity regulars at ‘The Chateau’ died from an overdose in a Chateau Marmont bungalow, so perhaps Lilo is luckier than she realizes.) One of the most uniquely beautiful places to stay in all of Los Angeles, the Chateau Marmont has the look of a classic Old World castle with the interior of an idyllic cottage. The establishment offers garden cottages and hillside bungalows, as well as traditional rooms and suites for those that want to explore the famous theaters, walks, and attractions of Hollywood located just outside the hotel. The Chateau’s on-site bar and restaurant offer classic cocktails and cuisine reminiscent of Old Hollywood. No matter who you are or the purpose of your visit, the charm of the Chateau Marmont will satiate your appetite for the Hollywood high life and world-class hospitality.
Forget being banned from a hotel, Lindsay Lohan is never, ever, going to be welcomed into any hotel in the W franchise. After a partying binge at the W Hotel in Manhattan that caused an unfathomable $50,000 worth of damage, Lohan has been publicly disinvited from ever staying at the chain ever again. This is her loss, as the W Hotels in both Westwood and Hollywood offer the unbeatable combination of glamour and comfort as only Los Angeles hotels can do. Situated in the heart of Hollywood and the chic Bel Air neighborhood near Brentwood (which is just a hop and a skip away from Santa Monica Beach), the W Hotels are great for not only staying and playing, but hosting events and meeting up with friends and colleagues to share a drink or chew the fat. Their famous Bliss Spa, heated outdoor pool, and pet-friendly facilities make the W Hotel one of the best bets for a grand stay in Southern California.
PS – there are lots of great hotels in Los Angeles that have not been trashed by Lindsay!
