What is the mystery downtown Los Angeles landmark in this mystery film?

My guess would be the Millenium Biltmore Building in Los Angeles. It has a lot of trees in the front of it today.

It’s the “Host of the Coast”, the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel. It’s still there, across from Pershing Square, or what was once called Central Park.
