The check in was speedy even though busy. Staff attentive to smooth arrival and check in. Room was larger then the average room and immaculent! It was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. No distrubances and could set the thermastat for my comfort level. Shower had pressure. Must tour the hotel to observe the detail of architecture! Will return.

The sevice was great. from the consierge to the food service. Parking was kind of expensive but normal for the area. It's located in the heart of "clean" down town Los Angeles and very accessible to all sight seeing attractions. The interior of the hotel and it's rooms were exquisite. We even took pictures of the cielings and walls. Highly reccomended!

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.

My husband and I decided for our 10th wedding anniversary that we wanted to do a weekend get-away in our own city. The building is a historic landmark, where presidents (JFK for one), celebrities, kings, and politicians have visited. You are surrounded by classic elegance the moment you drive-up to the valet parking. It feels as though you've stepped out of the city and into another time. The staff was all extremely cordial and helpful, and since the hotel is so old there is character everywhere. It is close to all of the what downtown LA has to offer.

Our room: When opening our door we were pleasantly surprised to see the size of it! There was a large armourer, a king bed with dramatic drapes overhead in a deep navy, and a beautiful vintage style comforter. A large desk and chair, a sitting chair, two large nightstands, and there were several different lighting options.

The bathroom: Very clean and average size; (remember, this building is old so it won't be like the newer luxury hotels in Vegas etc.) there was plenty of room for two at the sink, and they give you Aveda soaps, not a big deal, but a nice touch.

Restaurant/Bar: The Galley Bar and Cognac Room was really nice after a long night at the Opera, we stopped in for a great Bloody Mary more than once! The sushi restaurant was equally as good. Sit at the sushi bar if you don't want a full course meal, and the chefs are helpful and fun to talk to.

Amenities: There is a pool, gym, spa, tea room, and more. Check-out their site for more details at www.millenniumhotels.com and click on Los Angeles.

I listed this as high end because some rooms definitely are, but you can get them more reasonably. We paid around$120 per night after mentioning our AAA card. I will go back to the Biltmore time and time again, it's beautiful.

Me and my wife enjoyed our stay here. we were in town for a wedding and as a late honey moon. the building was beautiful and fun to be in. the only thing i did not like was the extra charge for parking as it seemed to be to high. we later found cheaper parking on olive st.. the hotel was near all of our destinations for that week and we had no problems finding our ways around down town. the staff was helpfull and even gave us maps to local attractions. in all we had a blast. the only set back was that there was no fridge, iron, or microwave in the room.
