Locations

Community General Hospital

Community General Hospital is the main set for the show. It is six to seven floors depending on the episode. It holds about 400 beds, with three trauma rooms, two psych wards, and one Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Mark Sloan is Chief of Internal Medicine. The Marriott Hotel in Woodland Hills, California was used as the exterior of Community General Hospital in the final, three seasons of the show (it was also used as a casino in the pilot for CSI).

BBQ Bob's

BBQ Bob's is a restaurant that Jesse Travis and Steve Sloan co-own starting in the sixth season. Mark Sloan is also a silent partner. It is located in a small strip mall very close to Community General Hospital. Other stores around it include a jewelery store, travel agency and a bank. It is often frequented by the hospital staff as an alternative to the hospital cafe. All staff members get discounts. The exterior of BBQ Bob's was based on a storefront at the Whizin's Center in Agoura, California, where exterior scenes of BBQ Bobs were occasionally filmed.

The Sloans' Beach House

From the third through eighth seasons, Mark and Steve Sloan share a house on Broad Beach Road in Malibu, CA, across from the Trancas Market. Mark lives upstairs while Steve lives downstairs. The lot also features a separate garage with a guest house. This is a real house used not only for the Sloan residence, but for other sets as well. The basement is occasionally used to film other houses, offices, and restaurants. The house's high ceilings, large skylights, and spacious rooms make it an ideal place for filming.
