Operations and Restoration
The hotel was acquired and restored in 1990 by Balazs. Updating the property was a notable task as he faced the need to modernize the hotel, while also receiving pressure from the hotel’s dedicated fans to preserve Chateau Marmont’s character.
For the restoration, Balazs requested to create an illusion the hotel had been untouched despite renovations. The entire hotel was re-carpeted, repainted and the public spaces were upgraded.

Famous quotes containing the words operations and/or restoration:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
