Fodor's Expert Review Millennium Biltmore Hotel

506 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, California, 90071, USA

As the local headquarters of John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign and the location of some of the earliest Academy Awards ceremonies, this Downtown treasure, with its gilded 1923 beaux arts design, exudes ambience and history. These days, the Biltmore hosts business travelers drawn by its central location, ample meeting spaces, and well-outfitted business center, open 24/7. The hotel is also popular for weddings. Renovated guest rooms, though small by today's measures, have formal furnishings and marble bathrooms. Pack your bathing suit to wear at the vintage tiled indoor pool and adjacent steam room.
