Step inside one of downtown L.A.’s ritziest hotels on our Biltmore Hotel Walking Tour!

Once the largest hotel west of Chicago, its magnificent architecture has attracted countless celebrities and dignitaries since its opening in 1923, including Rudolph Valentino, the Prince of Wales, J. Paul Getty, Howard Hughes, Herbert Hoover, and Eleanor Roosevelt. You might even recognize it from many beloved films and shows, from Pretty in Pink and Ghostbusters to Fight Club.

See this Beaux Arts marvel yourself on a Sunday afternoon! After the tour, we recommend you stay for high tea in the hotel's magnificent Rendezvous Court (additional cost; click here for more information).
