We had an evening event to attend in downtown Los Angeles and thought it would be fun to stay in this historic hotel. The lobby is very beautiful, but the rooms are nowhere near as beautiful. The room was small and had a window that faced a brick wall (so the curtains were left down). I think the rooms need... more

I recently stayed at the Biltmore. It's definitely like stepping into the past and no Hotel chain could today try to recreate the grandiose, charm and style of the lobby, open hallways, crown molding, stairways with banisters that aren't enclosed in concrete, etc. It's very cool just entering the place. Overall, my room was "just OK". Nothing spectacular, but nothing... more

checked in at 10:30 PM Saturday. Car line to park. Valet attendants extremley rude, and for 40$ a night. No self parking. Rude forgetful front desk people. Couldn't explain where to find a self park garage. Said " I'll give you a map". After checking in and getting keys. I was asked is there anything else? Yeah how about that... more

Enjoyed our stay, didnt think LA was... more

This was my second stay at the Biltmore in summer 2009. I would not recommend the Biltmore if it is warmer than 80 degrees outside. The HVAC system at the Biltmore simply can't handle it. With windows open, street noise becomes bothersome. Biltmore is a charming old hotel building, with spectacular lobby and bar. Rooms are very large and nicely... more

Gorgeous lobby and restaurant/bar area. Pretty pool too to splash around in. Room was huge, and I was on a non-smoking floor. more

We stayed 7 nites in total in the Billitmore hotel during our recent trip to US. We were given a good room for our first 4 nites, thereafter we left for San Fran & Vegas & returned for 1 nite. The room they gave us was ordinary , The room was small & the sink was clogging every time the... more

This is a beautiful hotel. I have always stayed at the downtown Marriot and the Westin Bonaventure on past trips for work, and they don't hold a candle to the Biltmore. The lobby is grand and inviting, the rooms beautifully appointed - my room on the 10th floor) was a bit small, but I loved the hotel. Tried the Japanese... more

While I requested a non-smoking room due to a serious allergy to smoke, we were placed on a smoking floor that just happened to have a group of people smoking in the hallway rather than in their rooms. We entered the room, which was spacious, but soon the smoke began to waft under the door and I called to be... more
