Fodor's "One of downtown L.A.'s true treasures, the gilded 1923 Beaux Arts masterpiece exudes ambience and history." Full review
Lonely Planet "The gorgeous art-deco health club takes the work out of workout." Full review
Rough Guide "Neoclassical 1923 architecture combined with modern luxury, with a health club modelled on a Roman bathhouse, cherub-and-angel decor, and a view overlooking Pershing Square."
Time Out "Built in 1923, the Biltmore retains the Italian-Spanish renaissance elegance that once enticed such dignitaries as Winston Churchill and JFK." Full review
Star Service "Facing Pershing Square, next to the Los Angeles Library and across from the more intimate, contemporary Hilton Checkers, this is an architectural tour de force that is worth visiting." Full review
Gayot "Designed in Italian Renaissance style, the Millennium Biltmore opened to national acclaim in 1923 and in 1969 was designated a Historical Cultural Landmark."
BlackBook "Downtown heart, Grand façade and Mediterranean soul. Popular since '23 with the Hollywood crowd and tabloid murder buffs (look up Black Dahlia connection)."
Travel + Leisure "This octogenarian grande dame has never looked more beautiful—although, like many L.A. ladies, she’s had some work done." Full review
Not For Tourists "First lady of Downtown hotels, testament to LA's architectural heritage."

Barlo's barn-to-belly theme surfaces at all meals and is much appreciated by local hipsters, but be sure to make reservations on weekend eves.
Gayot "Overlooking famous Muscle Beach, this boutique-style hotel is just a few blocks away from the dining and shopping of busy, trendy Abbot Kinney and close to the historic Venice canals."
BlackBook "No longer a Best Western, but still vibrant colors and bits of local flair. In the morning, rooftop brunchies, at night, rooftop drinkies."
Zagat "This stylish Joie de Vivre boutique hotel sits on the edge of the boardwalk, in the heart of zany Venice Beach, offering smallish rooms with a bigger view."
