Travel tips

If you’re planning sightseeing beyond Pasadena, many top LA landmarks are about 13–19 km away (e.g., Dodger Stadium, Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Broad, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame), so allow extra time for cross-town travel. For Pasadena-area outings, The Huntington (about 2.4 km) and the Rose Bowl (about 3.8 km) are convenient nearby highlights. The hotel sits along Colorado Boulevard with multiple restaurants and markets in the surrounding area, which can be helpful for late arrivals and quick meals.
