Beautiful hotel

Overall I liked this hotel. It's beautiful and historic - just expect massive glittery weddings, filming, etc. because of the beauty of the building. The staff was friendly. The halls smelled like cigarette smoke, perhaps they should separate smokers from nonsmokers more. Rooms don't come with refrigerators. Valet parking is crowded and pricey ($*/day), there isn't any street parking but there are other lots in the area. Downtown is centrally located to tourist attractions if you have a car. Fitness center equipment needed servicing. Restaurants in immediate area are either lunch spots for the office workers or very expensive and nice lunch & dinner spots - for inexpensive family friendly dinner places you have to be out of downtown, also Sunday mornings food availability outside the hotel is very limited in the area. Make sure to check out the LA Central Library across the street.
Great Find

me and my friend were planning on going on a vacation to LA and picked the millennium biltmore because it was a 4 star hotel and we thought everything about would be great. when we got our room was way to small and we got a bigger room quickly and easily, the service was GREAT! the parking fee was way too high. the location was horrible, when you come out of the hotel you see alot of homeless people laying outside and a bunch of weirdos that say stuff to you while you walk by, there were no grocieriy stores around at all so we had to take the metro or bus to get around town which was a pain, a lot of weirdos on their too. me and my friend were scared to come out of the hotel. the fitness center was good, and the staff was great. the lobby was beautiful!!!!!! the bathrooms were ok, a little dirty. overall i WOULD recommend the hotel if it was in a better location, but because of the poeple around the hotel, i would definetly NOT recommend it for anyone, spacially a family who want to go to all the LA attractions, this hotel was sooo far away from all the attractions.!.

The Millennium Biltmore Hotel is a historic treasure situated within the financial district of Los Angeles. From the moment that I walked into this beautiful hotel I was stunned. The European influence within this hotel is amazing; the grand columns, ornate ceilings, and the elaborate marble floors were all breathtaking.
Visiting the Biltmore Hotel was like paying a visit to the past. This hotel opened in 1923 and has been honored with hosting special events such as the Academy Awards. When the hotel was first built it was the largest hotel west of Chicago. Many celebrities, presidents, and royalty have visited the Biltmore Hotel because of its grand prominence on the West Coast.
The Biltmore Hotel has been a back drop for several movies and television shows such as: Vertigo, Bachelor Party, Ghostbusters, What Women Want and The West Wing. Their Crystal Ballroom is also where the Oscar sculpture was first designed in 1927.
This hotel has several restaurants, banquet facilities, and meeting rooms. We had breakfast at Smeraldi's Restaurant, which is located next to the Rendezvous Court Lobby. Although we were late for their breakfast buffet we were still able to sample their large exquisite breakfast. The ambiance within this restaurant coordinates with the rest of this luxurious hotel which makes for a great dining experience.
This was our last main stop before leaving for the airport and heading home at the end of our trip. After visiting the Biltmore I felt like my vacation was just starting. The Biltmore is an impressive luxuriant hotel with an entertaining history. I felt that we truly saved the best experience of our trip for last.

Beautiful hotel, full of history. I could almost imagine the Hollywood royalty of years past walking in the lobby. The room was small, but clean and tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows felt as if they were made of rocks. Next time I'll bring my own and avoid the headache. Parking was WAY overpriced, yet we felt we should tip the valet everytime we picked up our car, ouch!
