Sunset Marquis: A Secret Garden Resort in the Heart of West Hollywood

Apr 6, 2015  |   Contributor: Katherine Bond

If LA had a secret garden, it would undoubtedly be the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood. A discreet awning and a wall of cascading ivy and fauna are the only indications of this oasis found tucked away in the cul-de-sac of a nondescript residential neighborhood.
