L.A., Biltmore Hotel

The Biltmore was built as the largest, finest hotel west of Chicago. It has been the site of many auspicious occasions, including some of the earliest Academy Award Presentations and serving as JFK's official headquarters during the 1960 Democratic National Convention. It remains an unique property. Stop in for a visit. Plan on staying a while. The L.A. Conservancy hosts a free tour. It is now part of the Millenium Hotel chain.
