Kensington Palace
Historical landmark
2 mins
Just a short walk away from our hotel doors, Kensington Palace is a beautiful grand building surrounded by carefully landscaped gardens. The Palace is a fantastic place to learn about the stories behind some of Britain's most famous monarchs.
The Royal Residence wasn't always as grand as it is today. Originally built as a modest mansion in 1605, it was purchased by the first Earl of Nottingham in 1619. However, when William and Mary started their joint reign in 1689, they wanted somewhere better than their current home at Whitehall Palace, which was too close to the River Thames. In 1689, they bought the Palace and asked Sir Christopher Wren to expand it.
There are a number of exhibitions, displays and talks that take place throughout the year, helping you to get a better insight into the history of this incredible building.
With Kensington Palace being so close to the hotel, you may even be able to see the fantastic building from your bedroom window.

The Royal Albert Hall
Historical landmark

THE SPLENDOUR OF THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL
As one of the most iconic buildings in London, the Royal Albert Hall
is a must on your to-do lists.
Right in the heart of Kensington, it is just a short walk away from our hotel doors, so attending one of it's many events couldn't be easier.
Whether you wish to dine in one of our restaurants before the show, or rest your head in one of our luxurious rooms after an enchanting performance, your time with us will be stress-free.
Hosting more than 350 events every year, you can see everything from award ceremonies to rock concerts and, of course, the classical music it's so famous for. Even if you don't make it to an event, the building itself is well worth the trip. It was designed to replicate the incredible amphitheatres of Rome, which, alongside its lavish interior, makes it one of London's most well-loved buildings.

Los Angeles
Discover our historic hotel in downtown Los Angeles
Soon to be celebrating our 100-year anniversary – and having recently added the ‘Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument’ accolade to our mantle – Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles is the grand dame of downtown and this district’s most historic hotel.
Our beaux-arts institution has impressed guests and locals since the glory days of Old Hollywood, capable of entertaining a galaxy of stars, dignitaries and presidents from around the world. Having played host to a golden-era prohibition nightclub, numerous Academy Awards ceremonies, and feature film sets throughout the years – you’ll wish these gilt walls and painted ceilings could talk.
Our three ornate towers stretch above the ballrooms below, giving guests a view of the stunning Pershing Square. And with the booming arts and cultural scene of downtown Los Angeles just outside, you can easily explore and discover the true spirit of Tinseltown.
Take your pick from our variety of restaurants and bars or take a cooling dip in the indoor pool that still feature the original brass railings and ornate blue tiling from the Roaring Twenties. It’s time to visit LA in true Hollywood style.
