Beloved General Manager\u00a0Casey McShane\u00a0has left after nearly two decades at the storied hotel for the more brightly lit House of Dior flagship on Rodeo Drive as VP, we hear. The hotel\u2019s famed doorwoman,\u00a0Anya Varda, has also exited after more than 25 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hotel is apparently looking to recast while veteran\u00a0Chateau\u00a0Marmont managing director\u00a0Amanda Grandinetti\u00a0steps back into the GM role for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We spotted Varda (as a guest, rather than manning the famed cobblestone driveway) at W Magazine\u2019s annual Golden Globes party, also attended by hotel owner\u00a0Andre Balasz. \u201cAnya has been one of the most iconic and loyal employees for 25 years\u2026 greeting every celeb in the world,\u201d mused a hotel insider, who insisted the exit was \u201cconvivial.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
McShane, who left on very good terms, is now at the\u00a0Peter Marino-designed Dior space that includes its own chic rooftop restaurant, chef\u00a0Dominique Crenn\u2018s Monsieur Dior. The place has already become a power dining spot for players like entertainment lawyer\u00a0Bryan Freedman, and has hosted a Vogue luncheon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back at the Chateau, we also exclusively hear that for the hotel\u2019s 100th anniversary, the property has teamed with Rizzoli on an upcoming photo book.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s early days, a source told Page Six Hollywood that the publisher is soliciting stories from famous guests to share their greatest experiences at the hotel.
