"Having a late flight, and no food to speak of on the plane, it was nice to have the kitchen and market open late."

The Biltmore Los Angeles

The Biltmore Los Angeles

8/10 Good
"The Biltmore is absolutely beautiful, and has so much classic charm. You can tell that they sometimes have trouble keeping up with the maintenance of such a large, historic building covered with architectural detail and art as it ages, but it’s still well worth staying at regardless. The staff were all lovely, and they kindly upgraded us to a suite in honor of my wife’s birthday. It was enormous and very nice, and it was fun to feel so fancy! My only complaint was the noise coming from the seemingly constant, booming sound checks across the street at Pershing Square, which looks like they’ve turned into an outdoor music venue instead of a park with playgrounds. Disappointing, especially with a young child. However, the experience of the hotel itself was great! Would definitely stay again."
