Let us introduce you to one of LA’s best-kept secrets:

Once the private estate of Charlie Chaplin, this boutique hotel has been transformed into a lush retreat in the heart of West Hollywood. The Charlie Hotel is made up of 14 private bungalows, each with its own personality and story—some even named after famous residents like Marilyn and Marlene.

With ivy-covered brick pathways, secluded patios, and a garden that seems to hum with old-school romance, the hotel feels more like a European countryside hideout than something you’d expect in LA.

From the moment you step through the wooden gate, you’re transported to another era—yet all the modern comforts are there. Think luxury linens, fully equipped kitchens, and cozy living areas all within walking distance to Melrose Avenue’s vibrant scene.

We found this *amazing* cottage hotel in the middle of residential WeHo and I’m OBSESSED! It was owned by Charlie Chaplin and hosted the who’s who of Hollywood back in the day! Each room is named for a famous guest that once resided there… we stayed in the Steve (McQueen, perhaps?) and it was the coziest stay ever 🥰 #weho #westhollywood #hiddengem #cottage #hotelfinds #hollywood
