Kelly Osbourne Remembers the Sunset Marquis as a Place Where Ozzy ‘Could Politely Misbehave’ and Details Her Firsts in the Hotel

**Osbourne Family Remembers Summer Adventures at Sunset Marquis**

The Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood has long been a cherished retreat for the Osbourne family, with numerous fond summer memories associated with the iconic hotel. This past week, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, alongside other notable figures, appeared in a documentary titled *If These Walls Could Rock*, which explores the rich history of the renowned establishment.

Sharon Osbourne reflected on the family’s frequent stays at the Sunset Marquis during Ozzy Osbourne’s US tours before they settled down in Los Angeles. The hotel’s unique atmosphere allowed them to enjoy the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle while providing a sense of home. “He would love it here because he could wander. He could wander around outside in the garden. In those days he’d smoke,” Sharon recounted, recalling Ozzy’s leisurely strolls through the hotel grounds, where he would greet fellow guests in various bungalows.

Kelly Osbourne shared her own nostalgic memories, noting that the Sunset Marquis was the only hotel where her father could truly be himself. “We’d be kicked out of everywhere, but not the Sunset Marquis,” she remarked with a smile, explaining that her father could misbehave in a more civilised manner there. The hotel represented a safe haven for the family, allowing Ozzy to embrace his personality without judgement.

For Kelly, the experience at the hotel was transformative, as she wandered its corridors as a child. Reflecting on her younger days, she reminisced, “I felt like a little Eloise,” indicating the sense of freedom she felt during those lively summers. As time went on, the hotel also became the backdrop to her teenage escapades. Kelly recalled, “I had my first drink in this hotel. I had my first kiss in this hotel. I did my first line of cocaine in this hotel… which was given to me by one of my dad’s friends in a very, very, very big band, and I could never tell my parents because they would f—ing kill him.”

The documentary also features insights from legendary ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons, who recounted an unforgettable party at the Sunset Marquis, solidifying its reputation as a hotspot for rock legends. Gibbons shared a memorable incident involving Ozzy, who suggested incorporating a playful drinking ritual he had encountered at a restaurant called Le Pirate.

“He signalled me over… and he knew about a restaurant called Le Pirate,” Gibbons recounted, describing how he and Ozzy tossed their glasses at the end of the night. This whimsical act inspired a spontaneous chain reaction among partygoers, leading to a flurry of shattered glass surrounding the pool. “Within 30 seconds, every glass that had been surrounding the pool was now in shatters. And it became so dangerous that nobody could leave,” Gibbons said, highlighting the unforgettable nature of the evening.

The evocative stories from both Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, as well as Gibbons’ lively anecdotes, illustrate the Sunset Marquis as more than just a hotel; it is a cultural landmark that has witnessed many wild and celebratory moments in rock history. As Gibbons aptly noted, “The party went on until the wee hours. That’s the kind of s*** that happens at the Marquis.”

*If These Walls Could Rock*, directed by Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams, promises viewers a nostalgic glimpse into the legacy of the Sunset Marquis and its significance within the rock ‘n’ roll community. The documentary is currently available for streaming on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video, inviting audiences to partake in the stories and experiences that have shaped the very fabric of this iconic location.
