Millennium Biltmore Hotel - Property informationWhat to expect: This legendary property attracts politicians, business tycoons, and leisure travelers who are allured by the art-deco grandeur, refined aura, and illustrious history. Curious tourists also flutter about, and film crews often use the hotel for a shooting location. Guests—mostly in business attire—congregate in the ornate lobby, restaurants, and bars. The atmosphere leans toward formality, and the only rowdiness you’re likely to encounter is from exuberant fans in the popular sports bar. - Amenity highlights: Hand-painted ceiling frescoes by Italian artist Giovanni Smeraldi are showstoppers, provoking many heads to be in a perpetual upward tilt as they ponder angelic cherubs and heavenly scenes. The art-deco indoor pool, adorned with original blue-and-ivory tiles and polished brass ceiling, has added an adjacent fitness club with sauna, steam room, and whirlpool. The Grand Avenue Sports Bar is a favorite after-work haunt for local businesspeople, and the business center offers state-of-the-art facilities.
- Insider tip: The Millennium Biltmore has hosted a long roster of U.S. presidents, royalty, and celebrities, and has been a frequent filming location for movies and TV. In 1960 the lobby served as JFK’s campaign headquarters; in 1964 the refuge-seeking Beatles arrived on the rooftop via helicopter. Ask the concierge for a copy of the hotel’s history timeline and filming list—you’ll be awed by what’s gone on within these walls.
