Los Angeles Millennium Biltmore Hotel Downtown

Millenium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles ****

The Millenium Biltmore: This historic grand dame in the city’s financial district has welcomed United States presidents, visiting royalty, and numerous celebrities into a palatial setting just four blocks from the Performing Arts Center of LA and one mile from the convention center.

Renovated rooms in this 11-story classic hotel, built in 1923, sport warm woods and handsome shades of gold, cream, and ivory. French shutters adorn windows that open, and baths are tiled in white.

Reasons alone to visit The Millennium Biltmore are the extraordinary hand-painted ceilings, impressive public areas, and the original tiled indoor pool that was designed to depict the days of Pompei.

Biltmore Los Angeles attracts politicians, business tycoons, and leisure travelers who are allured by the art-deco grandeur, refined aura, and illustrious history. Curious tourists also flutter about, and film crews often use the hotel for a shooting location. Guests - mostly in business attire - congregate in the ornate lobby, restaurants, and bars. The atmosphere leans toward formality, and the only rowdiness you’re likely to encounter is from exuberant fans in the popular sports bar.

This handsomely restored art-deco masterpiece has hosted a long roster of U.S. presidents, royalty, and celebrities, and has been a frequent filming location for movies and TV. In 1960 the lobby served as JFK’s campaign headquarters; in 1964 the refuge-seeking Beatles arrived on the rooftop via helicopter. Ask the concierge for a copy of the hotel’s history timeline and filming list - you’ll be awed by what’s gone on within these walls.
