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.

Great place to stay for the price

Dont stay near the end of the hall overlooking the street. The windows are not sound proof, so the traffic noise will wake you up. Other than that, the hotel is great. It is a gorgeous hotel (they dont make hotels like this anymore), and the staff are top notch.

The overall experience was nice. After a long/noisy night at a concert nearby we were hungry. Tried to order room service at 12:00 am off the "Late Night" room service menu. The operator informed us that "Room Service closed at 11:00 PM". I offered a friendly suggestion of removing the Late Night Room Service Menu from the hotel information book to receive "is their anything else you need" from the other end of the phone. Hmmm!!

A great bargain

Great downtown location. Large room, although it was sparse on furniture. We moved a round side table from the side of the room so that we both had bedside tables. It's an old hotel but still maintained well. Valet parking was expensive($40)but with free in-and-out, and very prompt retrieval service, it was still a good deal. (Especially considering the great rate we got with Orbitz.) Room service breakfast was served at the time requested, and was very good. We booked two rooms and both couples were very happy with the stay.

LA Retro DOWNTOWN Hotel

This is a grand hotel which can be enjoyed in many different ways depending on budget. Simply walking the lobby and halls is great. Bar is superb. There is a closed courtyard for smoking that is secure and on ground level a short distance from the lounge. The spectacular gift boutique features hi-grade cigars by the way.

By all means park your car across the street on the surface parking lot kitty corner from the hotel on Olive st. We stayed a week and saved a lot of money. Best to go in and out once a day. The crew is a fun bunch of guys who also can give directions on the way out the lot.

survey

I told the front desk to make sure the room we were staying at was quiet but at 3am the people next to us were so loud coming down the hall and extremely loud next to us...I swear it sounded like there was 10 of them in the room. I couldn't go back to sleep right after that.

Outstanding Service and Comfort

Our trip was for a "Bible Crusade" in downtown LA and was 1/2 mile from hotel and the courtesy limo took us over and picked us up twice a day with no wait. We had many meal choices in the local area. The only thing we missed was no place to eat in hotel at 5pm. Everything opens at 6PM. We wanted a refrigerator for the room and they brought one up quickly and a light out that was repair immediately as well. Staff was great to us and we would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in LA.We travel a lot and this was a pleasant stay.

Lovely!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a beautiful hotel with an interesting part in the history of Hollywood. The staff was very nice and helpful as we didn't really know our way around. The (indoor) pool is awesome with a Turkish bath feel to it, but fairly small and not meant for children playing around really (tiling around the pool gets really slippery). Our room was OK, but not necessarily living up to the aesthetic of the lobby (it felt a bit dated, but very clean). All in all it was a great stay- would definitely go back or recommend to a friend!

Don't use valet- its very pricey. There are several parking lots just across the street for much less!

Parking Issues

Hotel lobby was amazing and top notch, so was our bedroom which had an amazing view of downtown. I would've given this hotel five stars but I had one issue that upset me during my stay. The hotel staff will not notify you about the parking situation because they are hoping you'll use the valet service which costs $40 a day. We assumed that the valet was included in the hotel price, but later found out by the additional charge on our bill. The concierge finally told us about the cheap parking a block away at checkout. Other than the parking issue it was a fine hotel.
