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!

In LA for business,discoverd the Biltmore.What a great find...Perfect place for a wedding,beautiful setting. Rooms are large and comfy.Great spot for the weary traveler.

First room was so small I couldn't cross the room without running into the TV. Requested a larger room, which we got without hassle. Bathrooms are very small, fans noisy. With exception of beautiful lobby, everything is more than a bit worn and outdated. Elderly TVs. Parking very pricey.

The Biltmore is a beautiful old hotel but the prices for everything are too much. $* for parking, $* for a jack and coke in the bar, $* for checking out a day early. It ruined what would have otherwise been a nice stay.

Overall, staying at the Biltmore was an enjoyable experience for my family. The front desk staff was a bit "stuffy", but once we got past that, our stay was a delight. We appreciated being close to public transportation. Since we are from a large city, the homeless/vagrant problem in downtown LA was not too disconcerting, but it is a city problem. We were careful not be out too late and were vigilant in our walking. The rooms are well appointed and clean. Although they are small, it is appropriate for the time period in which the hotel was built. It is a classic. Be sure to check out the fitness center with its wonderful heated pool and fully equipped workout areas. There is also a wonderful "wall of fame" with photos of the stars and guests at the early Academy Awards. There are 4-5 star restaurants in the area...Patina, The Water Grill (next door) and our top choice, Nick & Steph's Steakhouse just a couple of blocks up the hill on Hope Street. We travelled the Metro underground rail to Hollywood, it is cheap and easy. We also took a bus trip out to Venice Beach on the 333 and spent the day. If you can get a car, Disneyland Resort in Anaheim is about an hour away. We highly recommend the Biltmore for your next vacation to Los Angeles.
