Location, location, location. It’s not just about real estate anymore. That’s what officials at the Marriott Los Angeles Airport Hotel want filmmakers and producers to know when they are out and about scoping venues for their latest masterpieces.

With breathtaking views of downtown Los Angeles, Century City and the runways at LAX airport, the hotel offers film crews a peek at some of the city’s most scenic and recognizable landmarks set against the backdrop of palm trees and a bright Southern California sun (or sunset). The eclectic Pacific Rim flavor of Latitude 33 or that All-American sports bar feel of Champion’s Bar highlight some of the public creative spaces that can be used for filming scenes for any movie. Unique back-of-the-house filming opportunities also abound at this 18-floor facility.

The Los Angeles Airport hotel, which has earned an Energy Star label for the U.S. Environment Protection Agency, also offers dual front driveways and an expansive parking lot that is friendly for the trailers of stars and crew members alike.

A newly renovated presidential suite, along with 18 others, welcome cast and crew members with discounted rates that are sure to fit any filmmaker’s budget.
