A historic home – this guest house apartment is located just a few blocks away from the Rose Bowl and Old Town Pasadena with world-class boutiques and restaurants. From the exterior of the home, Spanish-style architecture invites guests into a Mediterranean-like escape, all while residing just a twenty-minute drive away from downtown LA. Inside, contemporary furnishings, cosy textures and a neutral colour scheme pave the way to a relaxing stay. We particularly love the unique layout of the main living area and open plan kitchen, which invites guests to come together in a sociable setting amongst the day or night's adventures in the city. From here, get both the city lifestyle and the laid-back ambience of being just a forty-five-minute drive away from the beach. And when you feel like simply chilling out at home, you can soak up the sun from the garden's wooden decking with a barbecue and alfresco dining area to yourselves too.

About Pasadena

Ah, Pasadena! Non-Californians might overlook this gem of a community, but Southern Californians know that Pasadena stands on its own, despite being only 10 miles away from Downtown LA. Though technically its own city, you wouldn’t know it, as Angelenos flock here daily.
