Enjoy Old-World elegance at this famed downtown L.A. landmark

Built in 1923 and designed along Continental motifs, Millennium Biltmore Hotel's gilded, ornate architecture is an immersion into a classic, bygone era. From the stately guest rooms and the elegant Rendezvous Court to the landmark Gallery Bar and Cognac Room, the hotel speaks to Los Angeles heritage by way of Old European charm. A Roman-style pool and health club adds to the allure of the hotel.

Highlights
  • Historic venue that's hosted kings, presidents and celebrities
  • Exceptional nightlife and dining options include Gallery Bar and La Bisteca Italian steakhouse
  • Roman-style pool and health club
Location

The Millennium Biltmore Hotel's downtown location means L.A.'s vibrant cultural and financial districts are just blocks away. Nearby freeway access puts major business and tourist destinations within easy reach.

Rooms

Tones of warm gold, ivory and cream, accented by rich woods and plush drapery highlight each room. The stately furnishings, plantation shutters and marbled bathrooms complete the rooms' impeccable European decor. Each of the hotel's 683 guest rooms come either with a king bed or two double beds, Wi-Fi access (fees apply) and satellite TV with on-demand movies. Upgraded business-class rooms include 42-inch flat screen TVs, radios with MP3 docking stations and wider work desks and credenzas.

Features

All Millennium Biltmore Hotel guests have complimentary access to the Roman-style indoor pool and health club. For lively Continental dining, try the acclaimed Smeraldi's, and for succulent Italian-style steaks and fresh seafood, La Bisteca is hard to resist. Sai Sai offers exceptional Asian cuisine.

 

Take a seat at the legendary Gallery Bar or retire to the Cognac Room, with its lovingly preserved early-20th century memorabilia, for world-class cocktails. Groove to terrific jazz and blues standards on Friday and Saturday nights.

Lacking that special something for the high price

Dissapointed: front desk was unefficient; I paid internet & a call to find my reservation. The concierge was unefficient. Noisy room AC; bathroom door -low part-dusty.

Outstanding and accessible

From the moment we rolled my broken wheelchair into the lobby we were treated like we were the in the penthouse. The staff were on it and friendly. We had never stayed in a hotel this nice and were surprised at what your money got us. The room was plenty big enough for my oversized scooter and the beds were soft and plush. From the doorman letting us in to the manager letting us make emergency repairs to the bartender why whipped up something special for me it was a experience. To top it all off we werer just minutes from Club Nokia where our concert was. It was outstanding. We will be back.

The Original Pantry Cafe has been making diner food since 1924 and never closes. If your tastes are a little more gourmet they serve a great New York Steak. It's got a fabulous feel, the locals and celebrities rave with good reason. If you want a drink afterwards there is a great Irish Pub right next door. It's all just a couple of blocks from the entertainment area there. Can't miss with it.

easy and close

always good - easy to downtown work location parking is too expensive so I park around the corner at another hotel and pay one fourth the price. No in or out priveldges with this other parking situation, but definately a cost savings. While the Biltmore is a good value, the parking destroys your budget of economy.

Very historic fashionable hotel

To begin the staff was very excellent and helpful. Usual at hotels the staff don't show me the hospitality that the biltmore staff did. Valet was speedy and a fair price and room service had a nice filet mignon steak. Location is nice in the heart of dowtown not far from the staples center and the housekeeping did a nice job with my room everyday.

Good Deal for Downtown

Downtown LA is not my favorite place to stay, but this hotel gets the job done. It's old, historic and beautiful inside. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Some parts of the hotel could use updating, but nothing was overly terrible. The driver at the hotel is very helpful, as walking around downtown LA on weekends/evenings isn't always the most pleasant.

Check out Little Tokyo! It's the best part of downtown and the driver at the Biltmore will take you there if you don't feel like walking.

A Nice Time

This is the only hotel we stay in when we are in Los Angeles and we always enjoy our stay there. Our daughter had her meet the groom party here before her wedding and also stayed in their bridal suite the night before the wedding. All her out of town guests stayed at the millennium and were transported to her wedding destination from there. It was a most memorable occassion in 2009. We stayed previous to this time also and will stay again and recommend it to friends.

The Biltmore

I was there for work and the location was excellent, within walking distance to everything I needed. Excellent staff and amenities ! Everyone from housekeeping to the front desk were very cordial. I will stay here again on future trips.

Elegant and timeless beauty

Opulent and with an unexpectedly colourful history which I found fascinating. Very close to LA attractions and the staff were attentive and friendly. The only downside was the lack of hotel mini-bar and room service, which is probably due to the age of the hotel and room configuration. But the elegant and beautiful surroundings more than make up for this minor inconvenience.
