    It’s fun to make fun of Los Angeles. The land where well-honed ennui hangs in the air like smog. A city whose main export is turning silver screen dreams into OnlyFans accounts. The idyllic heartland of the Erewhon smoothie. But despite how meme-able it’s become, Los Angeles is still where some of the coolest people in the world live. We invited them to our suite at the Chateau Marmont.
