Millennium Biltmore combines quiet elegance with historic flair.


A downtown landmark since its completion in 1923, and the 'star' of numerous movies and TV shows filmed at the property, the Millennium Biltmore Hotel The Biltmore Hotel is a hotel located in downtown Los Angeles, California. Built by John McEntee Bowman, it opened in 1923. At the time, it was the largest hotel west of Chicago and designed by architects Schultze and Weaver. It is now named the Millennium Biltmore.  Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. , has long been the 'host of the coast' for high society, celebrities and conventioneers from around the globe. Famed for its Spanish Italian Renaissance-style architecture and superb works of art, this stately 683-room property includes 55 suites and 70,000 square feet of elegantly designed meeting space with three spectacular ballrooms.

In 2003, the Biltmore celebrated a landmark 80th anniversary by bringing back jazz to its grand Gallery Bar. The Gallery Bar draws a casually sophisticated crowd that appreciates its old-world charm, live jazz, and precisely poured libations. The bar is also well known for its Black Dahlia cocktail, named after aspiring actress Elizabeth Short, who disappeared after last being seen by a doorman at the Biltmore in 1947.

The Biltmore is renowned for its elegant high tea served daily in the Rendezvous Court from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., featuring a selection of exotic teas, delicious sandwiches, traditional scones with Devonshire cream and irresistible desserts.
