"Beautiful building to visit and check out if you’re in the area. The architecture within is really unique and although you only get to enter and stay on the ground level, but it’s really a site to see. There are old style elevators, mail chutes, and even the floored tiles are very vintage. You can take some photos of this building and be in and out within 10 minutes."
"It's such a neat building to check out. You've probably seen it in many a movie over the years. Blade Runner is what I always think of when I see the Bradbury Building. We only got to walk around the ground floor since there are actual businesses on the other floors, but we still got some cool shots of the place. If you are downtown, this is a must stop. The architecture is definitely next level and futuristic for its day, to say the least."
"Amazing to see JF Sebastian's apartment building front the original Blade Runner movie! Iconic building worth a visit, especially if you're visiting the Grand Central Market or Angel's Flight."
"Definitely worth visiting once. Looks exactly like the photos. Don’t expect more. You cannot go up the stairs it’s not worth driving to to visit but if you’re in the area definitely worth stopping by! Perfect way to walk off your lunch after going to Grand Central Market."
"Amazing beauty inside ! This historical, beautiful and unique building, is a true hidden treasure ! When you look at this building from outside, or walking by, you would have never imagined how amazing it is inside! It is truly a piece of treasure from last century, but it is still standing and running like years before. It has been used for many movie scenes. When you walk inside, you feel like the time has stopped at 1930'. How wonderful and mysterious the feeling can be! Unfortunately, it is only open to the public for its front lobby and hallway, since it has been rented out for normal business office use. It has been kept in very clean and very functional conditions. It is like a piece of antique left in downtown Los Angeles, for people to look at it and to imagine how people used to look like and to come out this real treasure."
