Chain: Millennium & Copthorne Hotels
The Millennium Biltmore Hotel is centrally located on the border of the Business District and the Historic Core in Downtown LA. This beautiful structure, playing host to celebrities, kings and US presidents, was originally built in 1923… the “Roaring Twenties”. If you know your history, you’d guess (correctly) that no expense was spared to make it as incredible as possible. Ornate details stupefy even the most discerning traveler, and its original ambiance has been kept completely in tact. The Water Grill, located on site, is continually voted the best seafood restaurant in LA. FYI - January 1947 - the last place the Black Dahlia was seen!
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
A great choice for business travelers and tourists, alike. As a former concierge in the area, I have recommended this hotel to many people, never having heard an ill word about it. It is a historic masterpiece, and (as you’d expect) the rooms are small. What sets this hotel apart is the attention to detail… and location, location, location. It is a block away from just about anywhere in the Downtown area you’d ever want to be. Read our customer reviews?
Each of the 683 guest rooms are elegantly furnished with deep hardwoods, plush draperies and marble bathrooms. Rooms are fully equipped with all the modern luxuries: high-speed Internet access, satellite TV, two telephones, pay per view, desk, iron, ironing board, hairdryer and coffee/tea maker… while maintaining that old world charm.
With more than 70,000 sq. ft. of meeting and banquet space, business functionality is the main amenity of the Biltmore. Otherwise, there is ground level retail complete with a flower shop, salon, and restaurant not to mention laundry, valet, pool, child care and 24 hour room service (which can be AWESOME, as most of Downtown’s eateries close early). The most helpful amenity is the multi-lingual concierge staff. Martha, the head concierge, is knowledgeable about all things Downtown and is very friendly and helpful.
