Hotels

BACKSTORY: Click the links below to see photos of various hotels and inns that I have visited. Spanning a fairly wide range of styles, prices, and locations, hopefully you'll find a few enjoyable ones to peruse! There are both contemporary and vintage shots, showing these hotels how they looked "back in the day." A few have gone through ownership changes or have been permanently closed.

THE BILTMORE: LOS ANGELES

BACKSTORY: The premier choice for celebrities, presidents and dignitaries for over 80 years, the Millennium Biltmore Hotel offers historic grandeur and modern convenience in the heart of exciting downtown Los Angeles. This hotel has five ballrooms, including the Biltmore Bowl which hosted eight Academy Award Ceremonies in the the 1930’s and 1940’s. Also the site of Michelle Pfeiffer’s famous “Making Whoopee” number from “The Fabulous Baker Boys” movie.
