Hotels in South Pasadena

Beneath the shadow of Los Angeles, this small city offers a refreshing escape with its tree-lined streets and Craftsman architecture. The historic Rialto Theatre screens classic films in vintage splendour, while local shops maintain a distinctly un-chain-store charm. Performances unfold in the intimate Fremont Centre Theatre, a converted church. The city proudly builds its own Rose Parade float each year—a tradition worth witnessing during preparation season. Nearby, the Huntington Library features world-class art collections and botanical gardens showcasing diverse landscapes. After exploring, join locals at the farmers market where California's agricultural bounty is displayed with casual abundance.
