Millennium Biltmore HotelFormerly: | The Regal Biltmore Hotel | Modest in terms of its impact on the Los Angeles skyline, the Regal Biltmore is nevertheless a heavy-hitter when it comes to the city's hospitality industry. It was designed in an Italian-Spanish Renaissance style by the same firm responsible for the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. Though it was built early in the last century, its most notable feature is the 24-story towering red brick and cream-colored masonry, topped by a roof of terra cotta tile. This was the result of a $40,000,000.00 renovation in 1987 that saved the hotel at a time when some thought it should be razed. On the inside, the meeting rooms feature vaulted ceilings hand-painted by Italian artist Giovanni Smeraldi, whose work also graces the Vatican and the Blue Room of the White House. When it opened, the Biltmore was the largest hotel in the city with over 1,000 rooms. That number has since been pared down as successive renovations turned individual rooms into larger suites.
