With a premier, West Hollywood address Patio del Moro is located just 1 block south of the famed Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip. Its distinctive Andalusian and Moorish-inspired architecture boasts a copper-domed Tunisian tower, horseshoe-arched entrance tunnel, and tiled fountains in the private and public patios and fireplaces.
