Hollywood Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles 1974.
I recognized where this was immediately. I first encountered it when watching an episode of Burke's Law. They use it as a location and you could see it was in Hollywood near the Chinese Theatre.

00:00 - The very first frame is a car driving up to the entrance of the Hollywood Biltmore, POV from the entrance to the street, Orange Drive. In the background is the Chinese Theatre parking lot and the Chinese Theatre in back of that.
03:08 - As the title of the episode appears on screen. Burke's Rolls-Royce is driving north up Orange Drive. The Hollywood Roosevelt is in the background.
22:45 - Characters walk out of the hotel down to a car on the street; they turn around and come back up into the hotel and then the lobby (or the rotunda, as the door man says) to use the phone. They return to the street when a time bomb has gone off in the car they were supposed to have been in.
35:33 - Very briefly, a different location. Looking east, Burke's Rolls-Royce drives north up Sunset Plaza Drive from Sunset Blvd., past the colonial style building you may recognize.
36:33 to 39:57 - The Rolls-Royce drives north up Orange Drive and pulls into the Hollywood Biltmore. As Burke and his companion walk up the steps, leaving us to wonder why they drove up Sunset Plaza Dr. first, heh!, shots are fired from across the street from a building that was under construction at the time. A gun battle ensues at these locations.
