Frommer's "Oscar-night headquarters for the frenzy of participants and paparazzi attending the Academy Awards in the Kodak Theatre next door... shares the same block as two of the city's most famous landmarks." Full review
Fodor's "Part of the massive Hollywood & Highland shopping and entertainment complex, this 20-story Renaissance is at the center of Hollywood's action." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"A large, midrange chain property that draws primarily business travelers, the Loews Hollywood lacks the glitz and glamour that Hollywood connotes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Managed by Marriott, this art-filled high-rise overlooks Hollywood and Highland."
Rough Guide "The centrepiece of the Hollywood & Highland mall, with arty, boutique-style rooms and suites and a prime location in the heart of Tinseltown."
Star Service "Looking trendier than in the past, this is not a deluxe offering, though it offers solid standards all around; service is a strong point and staff are geared to upper-midrange business travelers." Full review
Gayot "This twenty-story building rises out of the Hollywood & Highland complex, which contains the Dolby Theatre (home to the Academy Awards) and an assortment of shops and restaurants."
BlackBook "Step one: Take over the former Renaissance hotel. Step two: Insert Exhale Spa. Step three: Throw in $25 million for a renovation. Results: A contemporary, 632-room hotel with oodles of style."

""Cool, hip and trendy", this "centrally located" former Renaissance Hotel sports excellent rooms with a view of the city or Hills."
Lonely Planet "This tower hotel adjacent to the Hollywood & Highland shopping center was recently re-done giving it up-to-the-minute, four-star appeal. The location is terrific." Full review

Concierge "If old-school grandeur is what moves you, you'll get a lot of bang for your buck here."
Fodor's "One of downtown L.A.'s true treasures, the gilded 1923 Beaux Arts masterpiece exudes ambience and history." Full review
Rough Guide "Neoclassical 1923 architecture combined with modern luxury, with a health club modelled on a Roman bathhouse, cherub-and-angel decor, and a view overlooking Pershing Square."
Time Out "Built in 1923, the Biltmore retains the Italian-Spanish renaissance elegance that once enticed such dignitaries as Winston Churchill and JFK." Full review
Star Service "Facing Pershing Square, next to the Los Angeles Library and across from the more intimate, contemporary Hilton Checkers, this is an architectural tour de force that is worth visiting." Full review
Gayot "Designed in Italian Renaissance style, the Millennium Biltmore opened to national acclaim in 1923 and in 1969 was designated a Historical Cultural Landmark."
BlackBook "Downtown heart, Grand façade and Mediterranean soul. Popular since '23 with the Hollywood crowd and tabloid murder buffs (look up Black Dahlia connection)."
Travel + Leisure "This octogenarian grande dame has never looked more beautiful—although, like many L.A. ladies, she’s had some work done." Full review
Not For Tourists "First lady of Downtown hotels, testament to LA's architectural heritage."
Michelin Guide 2 Stars
"Home of the first (1927) Oscars ceremony and once a magnet for presidents, kings and celebs, the Italian Renaissance-style Biltmore has maintained its prestige through the decades." Full review
