Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles played host to the Armenian Prime Minister Mr Nikol Pashinyan and his entourage on his inaugural visit to the United States of America.

He and his wife, Ms Anna Hakobyan were welcomed with a dinner banquet with over 700 Armenian-Americans in attendance. During their stay, they were also brought on a tour of the hotel premises, while General Manager and Owner’s Representative Mr Jimmy Wu shared about the storied history of the 96-year-old hotel. Mr Pashinyan then shared that he was impressed that the property was owned by City Developments Limited, as he had recently had an official visit to Singapore the prior month.

Los Angeles is home to the largest Armenian population centre outside Armenia, and Mr Pashinyan met with nearly 10,000 Armenians at his welcome celebration and concert organised by the Consulate General of Armenia in Los Angeles.
