Step into the glamorous past at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, where Beaux Arts elegance, rich history, and chic amenities like afternoon tea and a luxe spa await.
"With its Moorish carved-wood ceilings, marble fountain, and breathtaking Baroque stairwell, the Rendezvous Court at the historic Millennium Biltmore is quite the place to sip tea and nosh on finger sandwiches. Service is offered every Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. for $124 per person and includes a glass of sparkling wine for those 21 and up. Reservations are available here." - Cathy Chaplin
"While the ongoing theme of Downtown L.A. may seem to be historic, this building is the most historic of all the historic. Opened in 1923, this hotel has served celebrities, presidents and dignitaries and was one of the first homes to the Academy Award Ceremony for the Oscars. It's also made a few cameos in our favorite episodes of Mad Men. Mainly, we just love the architecture. Covered in frescoes, murals tapestries, columns and oak-paneled walls (which we wish could talk), this hotel, bar and event center is a place we frequent to step back into history." - TypeEd
"A hotel in downtown Los Angeles used for interior scenes to replicate the feel of The Breakers."
"With its Moorish carved-wood ceilings, marble fountain, and breathtaking Baroque stairwell, the Rendezvous Court at the historic Millennium Biltmore is quite the place to sip tea and nosh on finger sandwiches.

Reservations are available here." - Cathy Chaplin
"The Millennium Biltmore Hotel has hosted Hollywood stars and is a star in its own right. When the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel opened in 1923 it was the largest hotel west of the Mississippi. New York architects Schultze & Weaver created a luxury palace that combined many popular revival styles of the day including Mediterranean, Renaissance, and Beaux Arts. The firm would later go on to design the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The Biltmore Hotel was the birthplace of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1927 and the site of eight Academy Award ceremonies between 1931 and 1942. In 1960 it was the host of the Democratic National Convention that chose John F. Kennedy as the presidential nominee. The hotel has been a featured location on numerous TV productions including Mad Men, Glee, The West Wing and Charlie’s Angels. It has also appeared in numerous films including Chinatown, Beverly Hills Cop, Spider-Man and Independence Day. Its exterior also appeared in Ghostbusters as the Sedgwick Hotel in which Egon (Harold Ramis) deliverers the immortal line, “Don’t cross the streams.”" - ATLAS_OBSCURA
