The Biltmore Los Angeles - A Historic 1923 Downtown Landmark with Indoor Pool, Ornate Ballrooms, and Cultural Attractions
Located beside Pershing Square park in Downtown, this landmark Los Angeles hotel features soaring painted ceilings, marble fountains, and hand-painted murals recognizable from films like Independence Day and The Italian Job. The Biltmore's indoor swimming pool showcases original 1920s blue tiles and brass railings, while Smeraldi's restaurant serves Italian and Californian cuisine including weekday seafood buffets. The Rendezvous Court hosts afternoon tea service on weekends beneath Moorish-carved wood ceilings and a rose marble fountain. Guest rooms include modern amenities like Wi-Fi, refrigerators, and coffee makers, while the property maintains five luxurious ballrooms for events. The hotel sits just 3 minutes from Pershing Square Metro Station and a short walk to Grand Avenue's cultural corridor featuring The Broad museum and Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Pros
Host to numerous Academy Awards ceremonies and famous guests including six U.S. presidents
Original 1920s architectural details preserved throughout public spaces
Gallery Bar known for serving 'the best martini in Los Angeles'
Bugis Street Brasserie offers authentic Singaporean, Malaysian and Chinese cuisine
Cons
Self-parking costs $50 per night
Pool hours limited to 6 AM - 10 PM
“The downtown location places you steps away from cultural landmarks, while the interiors whisper tales of Hollywood's golden age. I found the public spaces truly grand, the kind that linger in memory. If you appreciate history and classic elegance, this could be your ideal Los Angeles base.”
Charlotte EvansHead of Editorial at Hotelsdowntown

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is convenient and there are great attractions nearby, but I had some serious cleanliness and noise issues during my stay. While the service was commendable, the quality of the room left much to be desired. Overall, I might return, but I need to consider other options first.
