The historic Rendezvous Court served as the original lobby of the Biltmore in Los Angeles when it opened 1923. Adorned with Moorish carved wood ceilings, gold-leaf accents, Italian travertine stone walls and a rose marble fountain, it is most noted for its enormous carved bronze Baroque stairwell that overlooks the elegant 2-story lounge, now used for dining, relaxing and meeting with friends.  The space has been featured often in film and television, including Daredevil, Beverly Hills Cop, the Nutty Professor, 24 and Heroes.
