Los Angeles' upmarket neighbour, Pasadena, has much to flaunt. Not only does it afford spectacular views of the San Gabriel Mountains but it also has some lovely old Californian architecture and a general air of sophistication. Somewhat preppy, and with a penchant for jazz and art, this city makes a wonderful year-round city-break destination. In keeping with the setting, the best hotels in Pasadena are generally set in historic buildings and offer some old-world elegance. Our hotel experts have hand-selected their two favourites. From a charming owner-run inn to an elegant five-star. So, why not browse through our collection to start planning your next escape?
Los Angeles (Pasadena)
A sophisticated 5* boasting a quiet location in Pasadena. Suites and doubles have some real old-world charm, with dark-wood antiques, high ceilings, and Persian rugs. Dining is an equally elegant affair and the spa is a destination in its own right. With the feel of a country club; secluded luxury.
Los Angeles (South Pasadena)
Feel like a local with a stay at this quaint historic craftsman home. Tasteful rooms blend pastel colour schemes, soft comfy fabrics and stately wooden furniture. Overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains, the outdoor veranda and porch suit balmy evenings. Hospitality only an owner-run inn can offer.
