        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hollywood hotspot <strong>Chateau Marmont</strong> is back.</p><p>After having to lay off nearly all its 242 workers without severance and insurance amid the pandemic — and raising the wrath of the LA hospitality union Unite Here Local 11 — the West Hollywood hotel is ready to take guests again, Page Six is told.</p><p>Following rumors the hotel was even up for sale — which owner <strong>André Balazs</strong> told us were wholly untrue — the iconic spot is getting back to business.</p><p>The Chateau Marmont quickly scaled down its operations at the beginning of the pandemic outbreak but remained open to serve nearly 15 long term guests, we&#8217;re told. It also opened its cottages to medical staff at Cedars Sinai.</p><p>Now, the hotel is working with medical experts from the U.S. and Europe to implement &#8220;the most stringent safety service standards&#8221; to ensure the safety of the guests and staff, a source said.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Chateau Family Fund, which is designed to help the affected workers and to which <strong>we revealed that Balazs contributed $100,000</strong>, has now raised nearly $165,000 from names and guests including Ryan Murphy, Sam Rockwell and Patricia Clarkson. An online store is donating profits to staff.</p><p>A source said: &#8220;The most important thing for all of us is that Chateau Marmont is now (and has always been) open since it opened its doors in 1929. Our philosophy is &#8216;always open, always a safe haven&#8217; — and that&#8217;s taken on such a bigger meaning now than ever before.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
