The Hotel Lobbies Where Hollywood Takes Meetings During AFM

During the American Film Market, hotel lobbies around Los Angeles become informal meeting places where film buyers, sellers and filmmakers can make introductions and discuss deals. The Fairmont Century Plaza is the market’s headquarters, while several Beverly Hills and Sunset Boulevard hotels offer alternative settings for industry meetings.

The Fairmont hosts drinks and evening DJs, and is marking its 60th anniversary with special cocktails. Other options include the Peninsula’s garden-facing Living Room and afternoon tea, the Waldorf Astoria’s Lobby Lounge, the newly opened PUBLIC West Hollywood with its rooftop campfire, and Chateau Marmont, which has also reopened Bar Marmont with French-Vietnamese food.
