These are the best downtown Los Angeles hotels and accommodations in Los Angeles downtown to stay at, if you are attending a convention or doing business downtown Los Angeles. It's an insiders review of hotels downtown Los Angeles.

Most of the best Los Angeles hotels are on the Westside, but there are some very fine downtown hotels such as the Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles and ultra chic Standard Hotel downtown Los Angeles that are very nice and quite luxurious.

I have stayed at many downtown Los Angeles hotels while attending conventions for over 20 years, so I am very familiar with all the hotels in downtown Los Angeles. The hotels I have listed here are the very best and the only ones I like to stay at. I highly recommend all of these hotels to you my visitors.

The Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles

506 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90071. Phone: (213)624-1011. Deals from $129. The Biltmore hotel in Los Angeles is a historic landmark. When it opened in 1923 it was said to be Los Angeles grandest and finest hotel. I think that's probably true even today. It's been beautifully restored to its old glory and it's a treat to just enter this hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel more than other downtown Los Angeles hotels, because it's my very favorite downtown Los Angeles hotel. It's located right across from Los Angeles Perching Square and it has one of the best LA locations for business travelers.

There is a wonderful in house restaurant serving fabulous food, and the Grand Avenue Sports Bar is very popular, and a great place to wind down after a full and busy day. The guest rooms are elegant,serene and comfortable. This is my top selection for downtown Los Angeles hotels. Free shuttle bus service to the convention center.

I remember having had one of the most comfortable beds ever. Their mattresses must be top quality for a hotel. I love sleeping on a fabulous mattress and luxurious bedding. Who doesn't!

They have a fantastic roof top restaurant that rotates to give you the best views of Los Angeles possible. The food is great, although some of the steaks were a bit pricey, but very good, of course. I like this hotel, their service and anemities, having stayed here numerous times with no complaints. They have some of the best hotel deals downtown, actually.

I love the fabulous modern rooftop bar and lounge area. It's a spectacular place to hang out on a warm summer night. The views takes your breath away. I am not kidding you. You will enjoy this place, I'll guarantee it.

The roof top loung is super hot and popular and very busy. To avoid crowds, go on weeknights and during the day. The hotel is one of my favorites. I love this hotel as well as the Standard Hotel In Hollywood which is equally fabulous.
