Some 150,000 readers of LA Downtown News have helped define what is best about downtown Los Angeles since 1972.
The Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles is, once again, the “Winner: Best Hotel” in downtown Los Angeles, according to the readers of LA Downtown News. But that’s not all: those same readers, the people who know Los Angeles best, also just voted for the iconic property as the “Winner: Most Romantic Hotel,” the “Winner: Best Private Event Venue,” the “Reader-Recommended: Best Wedding Spot,” and the Biltmore’s stylish Gallery Bar was named the “Reader-Recommended: Best Hotel Bar” in downtown Los Angeles. The latest awards are featured in the July 18 2012 issue of the weekly newspaper.
Some 150,000 readers of LA Downtown News have helped define what is best about downtown Los Angeles since 1972 because they know their home town best, and it is easy to see why the Biltmore consistently comes out on top.
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, Los Angeles is where historic grandeur meets modern luxury, where unparalleled architecture provides an extraordinary setting for any occasion, and where “guest-centric” hospitality encompasses exclusive Club and Executive Level floors, a health club and fitness center, beauty salon, retail and specialty shops and, of course, distinctive fine dining and more. Perfect reasons to be recognized as the Best Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
Why did the Biltmore win Most Romantic Hotel for the third year in a row? Aside from being magical from the minute a couple sets foot in the door, the hotel’s Romance Package says it all: luxurious accommodations with a chilled bottle of Champagne and sumptuous dessert for two waiting; a full breakfast buffet for two in the elegant Smeraldi’s Restaurant, and late checkout. There’s also the Rendezvous Court where Afternoon Tea is served in style in a uniquely ornate setting, a rare treat in Los Angeles. And, with an architecturally stunning ballroom complete with vivid frescoes, historic charm and elegant decor, and the beautiful Rendezvous Court serving as the perfect venue for a memorable wedding photograph, it should not be surprising that the Biltmore also ranks at the top among wedding spots in L.A.
The hotel’s Gallery Bar owes its trophy as Best Hotel Bar to history – roots going back to the fabulous 1920s – as well as gorgeous wood paneling, intimate lighting and the latest in cocktail inventions, traditional favorites, provocative wines, a food and dessert menu, and live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. And, for groups and companies seeking the ideal venue for a special private event, the Biltmore wins top honors because of its 70,000 square feet of meeting and banquet rooms resplendent with hand-oiled wood paneling, ornate carvings, elegant frescoes and sparkling chandeliers. In short, LA Downtown News readers have heaped honors on the Biltmore because, for history, opulence, beauty, luxury and incomparable services, it is the Number One choice in town.
