Millennium Biltmore

Since 1923, the storied Millennium Biltmore Hotel has been a renowned icon in Los Angeles. The Crystal Ballroom, where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was founded in 1927 and where the original "Oscar" statuette was sketched on a Biltmore napkin, is home to exquisite Spanish-Italian Renaissance architecture, including stunning hand-painted ceilings. Eight Academy Awards banquets were also held in the Biltmore Bowl during the 1930s and 1940s.

The ground floor is stunning, with spectacular rooms peeling off the lavish lobby one after the other. Some of them, like the Crystal Ballroom and the Gold Room, are only available for private hire, but if there isn't an event going on and you ask politely at reception, someone will show you around. The apartments, which come with the modern luxury of free Wi-Fi, can hardly compete with such extravagance, but they are cozy in a traditional sense.

After High Tea in the Court, spend some time relaxing in the dry or wet sauna or the Roman-style pool at the Biltmore. The rooms themselves come equipped with the typical modern conveniences, such as wifi, coffee makers, and smart TVs, but the suites at the Biltmore are the epitome of luxury: The two-floor, three-bedroom Presidential Suite has been used by nine different POS, and the Music Suite has a baby grand piano and dinner service for up to ten people.
