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.
