Named after Marie Antoinette's 'Petit Trianon' (which it in no way resembles), the Trianon Apartments are a real crown jewel in an otherwise non-descript neighborhood of Hollywood. According to architecture historian Laura Massino-Smith, the apartments bear a strong resemblance to the Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau in the Val de Loire. (I looked it up and they do!).
The Trianon is designed in the French Normandy or Chateauesque style. The apartments and its neon roof sign were designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1995 (No. 616). Architect Bryant also designed the art deco style Argyle Hotel (Sunset Tower) in West Hollywood. The Trianon is located at 1750-1754 Serrano Avenue in Hollywood.
