Perched on the legendary Sunset Strip, the Sunset Tower Hotel is one of LA’s most iconic Art Deco landmarks. Built in 1931, this former residence of Hollywood legends like Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Elizabeth Taylor oozes old-school glamour. The golden facade and tiered setbacks make it a standout on the skyline—especially in the soft golden light of late afternoon or blue hour, when the tower glows like a film set.

Though it’s primarily a luxury hotel, you don’t need a room to soak in the atmosphere. Grab a cocktail at the Tower Bar, where Hollywood deals still get whispered in velvet booths, or admire the classic architecture from the sidewalk across the street—a must-shoot for fans of vintage LA style and cinematic aesthetics.
