The Biltmore Los Angeles celebrated the yuletide season with great cheer, with holiday traditions that extended appreciation to the local community and support for the less fortunate.

For the second year, the team participated in the CHiPs for Kids Toy Drive to bring some Christmas cheer to children in need. The drive was organised by the California Highway Patrol and CBS Los Angeles. Hotel guests, community friends and staff donated more than 300 new toys to bring good tidings to the underprivileged kids.

Earlier in the year, the hotel also continued its longstanding tradition of donating Thanksgiving turkey meals prepared by the kitchen team to the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Fire Department officers.

“They are always on duty during the holidays, and we want to help them celebrate Thanksgiving and express our team’s special thanks to the officers,” said General Manager and Owner’s Representative Mr Jimmy Wu.
