About the Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles

Located in the middle of downtown Los Angeles on Pershing Square, the Millennium Biltmore offers a stunning canvas for your wedding photographs with its lavish interiors and sensational hand-painted ceiling murals. This historic landmark has been a host to celebrities and presidents through the decades and provides the perfect location for your glamorous wedding day.

When the Los Angeles Biltmore opened in 1923, it was the largest hotel west of Chicago. Made of thick steel and concrete, this 11-story edifice takes up half a city block. Designed as a homage to the Castilian heritage in Los Angeles, the hotel is a stunning synthesis of Spanish-Italian Renaissance Revival, Mediterranean Rivival, and Beaux Arts style. At the Biltmore, your wedding will be an unforgettable celebration of Los Angeles history.
