Queue at checkin was very long with only 2 staff working the desk.
Bathroom maintenance could be improved as the door wouldn’t shut properly and was very tatty around the edges.

The Biltmore is still one of the most beautiful iconic buildings in Los Angeles but it is def one to visit instead of stay at. The rooms were old and not maintained the bed was uncomfortable. They were really small and kind of dingy. The bathroom felt like being in a prison cell complete with bars with towels super thin they didn’t even absorb the water from the shower as a bathmat, and I slipped and busted up both of my knees. They couldn’t find a reservation for me, but through Hotels.com, and even though I had paid for a nicer room, I still got a very very poor room and they were unhelpful to switch it or find me something better. It was a big waste of money, even though I do love the property for the history I would definitely stay somewhere else much more comfortable and come for a drink here in the bar.

Like the hotel overall, especially its central location to cultural institutions and activities. Even a bit distant LACMA is of a single subway ride (Metro D is just one block walk).
Breakfast was a disappointment, for $39, the content was below the usual variety and quality. The Pitchoun Cafe 2minutes walk by the hotel might be the reason for it. That’s how we ended up going the next morning.
Two issues need to be addressed regarding room 937, all in the bathroom. The top half of the window needs to be covered because it directs towards to toilet, no privacy! The shower head does not transmit hot water well. It was lukewarm even turned to the utter most hot. Luckily it is summer now so we could still manage. But it must be replaced.

Beautiful historic hotel, kept very clean, with great service. I really enjoyed our stay.

However, it’s an old hotel and our room felt a little tired. A little shabby in places - faded glory chic, if you want to be kind about it. But definitely very clean, and the bed, pillows and linens were comfortable. Coffee maker in the room was basic but worked, and our request for more coffee and water was actioned immediately.

No room service, so you had to order food from the hotel restaurants and take it up yourself, that was a bummer when we landed after a long transpacific flight. We had various dishes from the Gallery bar and restaurant, and they were strictly OK. Nothing to really complain about but nothing standout (except the meatballs, which were great). We overslept (jet lag) and missed breakfast, so can’t comment on that.

Fitness center was pretty good, and you MUST swim in the spectacular original pool.

Place is beautiful and the staff is helpful but my problem with this place is the extra fees. When u get there u have to pay 39 dollars a day to stay there and 55-75 a day for parking, with a 575 dollar hold which isn’t to bad but that was almost the cost of my whole stay in the hold.

Such a beautiful historic place, highly recommend!! Common areas and room extremely clean! We had the larger version of the king size room (but not the suite) and it was small, but makes sense for the era. Would have preferred somewhere for my husband and I to each sit instead of one on the desk chair and one on the bed, but that was really the only issue. Will definitely stay there again!

While the hotel itself is a historic and impressive property, that is where it stops. The rooms are extremely undermaintained and run down. Cleaning in the room was not up to the mark. The sheets had stains, the sink had hair from the previous guests and the surfaces weren’t cleaned down properly. The area surrounding the hotel also felt unsafe and dangerous after a certain point at night. Also, they don’t offer any room service, which feels bizarre. Overall we were disappointed in our stay. The location of the hotel was the only saving grace. Oh and they were shooting the Apple TV show “the morning show” while we were staying there, so I guess that was kinda exciting? All in all, Will likely not be returning.

The staff behind the desk and security were extremely helpful. I sprained my ankle the first day and thankfully security gave me ice packs to keep the swelling down. Im pretty sure they saved my trip.

Overall it was a great stay. The staff was fantastic and the bar food was good. However, we did have trouble with the towel situation in the rooms. The first night they didn’t give us any bath towels and when we requested some, they gave us 2 instead of 4. The next day they gave us only 3. That was weird.
Also, there was no drinking water offered unless you spent )$10 on bottled water. That was very inconvenient as well 😞

The building itself, the architecture, the ceilings, the lobbies, and the bar are all beautiful.

I upgraded my room to a club room that \"has the best city views and had clubroom lounge access\". My room view was a brick wall. My keys did not have access to the club room the first day completely because the front desk did not have me as upgraded. Was not told about the $15 a day credit to use at the restaurant/ bar, until the last day. Those few things were just highly disappointed enough to choose another place to experience next trip.

The public areas are reminiscent of an Italian Art Museum, but it is an older building and the rooms while renovated are not as comfortable as a modern hotel. The gushing shower was a plus, the noisy air conditioner a minus. The buffet breakfast was very good, better than most, but the meal from the cafe was disappointing even if it did come out less than 5 minutes after we ordered it.

Upon checking-in, I was told that the hotel charged a $39 destination fee that was not included in the \"final\" price quoted on Orbitz. I was informed $15 could be applied to charges at the bar or breakfast, and then also very graciously offered two small bottles of water without charge.The next surprise was when I went to the bar and ordered a basic drink which cost $25 price and also had a 20% service charge tacked-on. The hotel is historic and indeed very elegant, but I prefer destinations without hidden costs.

Very nice hotel but beware if you are sensitive to scents, the lobby and hallways are heavy on air freshener.

The rooms are spacious and clean. Basic amenities. Always nice to have a fridge in the room. No microwave. And simple one-cup per brew mild coffee, not espresso pods. But there is a cafe steps away as well as a Starbucks on the corner. Convenient location for downtown venues. I don't recommend walking around the area at night, which most folks from LA will tell you.

The hotel was definitely a historic and unique building. The staff was absolutely incredible - everyone. Enjoyed breakfast and lunch from the Bar-Grill. I believe the room was really a reflection of the photos on its website. The reality is that the rooms appeared to be very old and dull, lacking and color or life (which is completely different than what’s displayed on the website). It’s could also use some upgrades to the outlets, window dressings and perhaps the furniture. Otherwise, a very clean, responsive hotel.

Check in took FOREVER! with only 2 parties in front of me. I was charged $600.00 amenity fee which was never returned. Destination fees. No valet weekdays the parking garage you need to go up 6 floors until you can park because of valet and apartment parking. The parking garage is so narrow and low that a lot of cars wont fit! and they do not offer anywhere else to park. You have to pay 150.00 a night to park down 3 blocks, good luck walking to your car at night!

First off, it's an amazingly beautiful historic hotel in the heart of downtown L.A. They don't build hotels like this anymore, other than maybe the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City 25 years ago (which is an anomaly because the owner at the time, Earl Holding, built it as a monument to himself with zero regard for a true R.O.I.—Big Oil money plays by different rules).
The Biltmore is exquisite, a throwback to another time. We scored some really amazing prices via one of the online websites (which we sometimes dislike, but at times you can get a really solid deal.
The architectural details are incredible, from the moment you walk in you feel like you're in a palace. The hotel has all the major amenities you need: on-site restaurants (our package came with comp'd breakfast buffet every day, which was great), pool, gym, etc. It's just nice to sit in the lobby and soak in the atmosphere.
Lots of cool old photographs from when the hotel hosted the Academy Awards in the 30's and 40's. Overall, just a really outstanding hotel.

We stayed at the Biltmore Los Angeles for two nights. I chose the hotel because of its proximity to 1) a subway station and 2) good restaurants. We did request no room cleaning, which was fine. Our room had a king bed, as requested, and it was comfortable. Even though we were on the eighth floor, sounds from the street wafted up frequently. The only bad component of the room was the TV remote, which had a low battery or faulty keyboard that prevented easy selection of channels.

The bill or guest information was a revelation: a daily $39 destination fee that “included” WiFi access, health club access, domestic pkone calls, and daily credits for food and dry cleaning. We did not use any of these except for the WiFi. The valet parking cost $70 per day.

This hotel is ripe for a major renovation. To start with, the hotel needs new windows. Current single windows are made of wood , the paint is peeling off, the noise from the street and an air conditioner unit installed on the roof penetrates into the room - ridiculous. Room size was OK, bathroom OK, Ed's were ok. There was only one chair in the room, hence the second guest has to sit on the bed or a small desk chair- subpar for a hotel of this rating. The breakfast buffet was expensive and unimpressive, other breakfast options (in the bar) even worse. The lobby is nice and well maintained. Both self parking and valet parking are quite expensive. If you are good on foot, I suggest parking in one of many nearby garages for one half of what the hotel charges. In addition to the room charges, the final bill showed all sorts of service charges and add-ons, so be aware of that.Staff were generally helpful.

Everything was excellent, from the friendly staff to the cleanliness of the hotel. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

A couple of areas could use improvement. The internet connection was extremely slow and frequently disconnected, which made it difficult to use reliably. The streaming services on the TV experienced similar connectivity issues.

The only other disappointment was being asked to leave the downstairs lobby area and not being allowed to eat a meal there, despite it being vacant at the time. It would have been nice to have a comfortable common area available for guests to use.

Aside from those issues, I had a great experience and would consider staying here again.

For a 4-5 star hotel, it was disappointing that to see the lack of amenities in the bathroom. Only a small tube of moisturiser provided, not even a shower cap. Yes, shampoo and body wash in the bath. The air conditioning in our room didn’t cool the room and issue wasn’t resolved until Day 2 of a 3 day stay. The WiFi didn’t work in the room for our entire stay, even after complaining about it. We had left our luggage with the Bell Captain on check-out and had to wait 30mins when returned a couple hours later to retrieve our luggage. We approached staff at the front desk as we had time limitations but they were dismissive and couldn’t really care. Opulent hotel but don’t recommend it.

This is a beautiful iconic hotel with a lot of history. However, the third floor rooms smelled moldy and musty. The room’s carpet are as old as the hotel. Nothing updated in 50 years. No slippers or robes. No room service even when requested the service. Had to ask for the complimentary water. When I complained to the front desk staff on the musty smell she kept saying she didn’t know anything about that She repeated this statement 3 times. Two nights was enough not to go back.
