Biltmore Hotel - restoration
1974 - 1984
File 15
The Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles (Schultz and Weaver of New York, 1923) was acquired by Ridgway Ltd. in 1976. The entire hotel was modernized; the historic public rooms were carefully restored and the guest rooms were entirely renovated. The project features a prominent contribution by artist Jim Dine, who made 6 watercolours, 14 wall friezes, a mirror frame, a lamp base and a rug for the rooms and public spaces of the hotel.
The records in this project series has been arranged by material type.
