What can I say?…we will definitely be back! Such a great experience. Everyone was super helpful. Nice bar, Starbucks handy, great breakfast buffet, and a nice little night menu if you choose to stay in. The pool was very enjoyable also. Looking forward to next time.

The Biltmore Los Angeles
Old school charm oozes out of every corner. Fabulous detail in all the public spaces. Rooms are large. Bathrooms and functional - as one should expect from a 1920s hotel. A movie was being filmed while I was there.
