Sunset Marquis hosts corporate receptions, product launches, private dinners and weddings for up to 250 guests across pool, garden, restaurant and bar spaces, on about 3.5 acres of gardens, lawns, pools and patios in West Hollywood. The hotel is made up of suites and villas, and it runs its own recording studio, Nightbird Studios, which explains why music industry events and listening parties are part of its calendar.
Seminars and company events
Company events here lean toward receptions and dinners rather than classroom meetings. BAR1200 takes 65 guests across its inside room and patio for corporate events, birthdays, book releases and listening parties. The Main Pool area holds 250 when the pool bar and the pool deck are used together, or 40 at the pool bar alone. Cavatina, the restaurant, seats 160 or takes 250 for a cocktail reception, with its indoor and outdoor areas bookable as separate function spaces. The events team arranges AV equipment, live music and DJs, and handles requests through a private events manager. The hotel does not list dedicated meeting rooms on its site, so it fits launches, client dinners and incentive evenings better than a full-day plenary.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies take place outdoors in the gardens. North Villa Garden seats up to 50 for an intimate dinner among dense planting. Villa Pool hosts 90 seated or 250 standing for a buffet or a seated dinner outdoors. Cavatina seats 160 for the reception. SPA Garden, with privacy curtains and ceiling heaters, works for brunches, showers, rehearsal dinners and receptions all year. Villa Patio suits both small and larger gatherings, and BAR1200 takes the after-party. Room blocks of villas and suites can be held for wedding guests.

Accommodation
Guests stay in villas, from studio to one-bedroom, two-bedroom, Grand Deluxe and Presidential, and in suites, from studio and one-bedroom to king guestrooms. The Alta Villas and the Villa Pool are under renovation until the end of 2026, with works on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Alta Loma Villa area. The main hotel and the Garden Villas are not affected, but organizers planning a Villa Pool event should check its availability.
Catering
Catering comes from the hotel, with Cavatina as the restaurant and three full-service bars, including the late-night BAR1200. Villa Pool events can be served as a buffet or a seated dinner.
History and setting
The property sits on landscaped grounds just off the Sunset Strip, with two pools, gardens and patios between low buildings. The on-site Nightbird Recording Studio ties the hotel to the music world, and live performances and DJ sets are part of many events here.
Getting there
The hotel is in West Hollywood, in the Los Angeles area, close to Sunset Boulevard. The private events manager handles requests by phone or through the online request form.
