Considered the grand dame of Los Angeles hotels for nearly a century, the Millennium Biltmore Hotel has a very prolific history in Hollywood, and was the home to eight Oscar ceremonies during the Academy’s early years.  Guests to the property will walk the halls graced by the likes of 10 U.S. Presidents (from Hoover to Clinton), Nelson Mandela, John Steinbeck, John Wayne, Clark Gable, Walt Disney, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Kate Winslet, Katie Holmes, Heidi Klum and many more.
The premier choice for celebrities, presidents and dignitaries for over 85 years, the Millennium Biltmore Hotel offers historic grandeur and modern luxury in the heart of exciting downtown Los Angeles.  Located in the vibrant cultural and financial districts, our downtown Los Angeles hotel is steps away from major attractions, including: L.A. Live, Staples Center, NOKIA Theater, Music Center, Ahmanson Theatre, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dodger Stadium, Museum of Contemporary Art and more.  Just a short drive from Hollywood, Beverly Hills, three major airports as well as the beach cities.
