The Langham Huntington, Pasadena has been a fixture of the city ever since it was built in 1906...
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in residential Oak Knoll near grand Craftsman estates, the hotel is a short drive from the historic Huntington Library and botanical gardens.
The rooms
Mission Revival touches meet hardwood floors, serene green palettes, and Italian marble bathrooms, with private cottages scattered across the grounds.
The outdoor pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated saline Lanai Pool sits beside the Picture Bridge, and the Royce Pool offers private daybeds and cabanas.
The spa and gym
Chuan Spa offers therapies rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, with an indoor whirlpool, herbal steam rooms, and a 24-hour gym.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Royce
Steaks and seafood sear over white oak in a dining room flanked by two temperature-controlled glass wine rooms.
Bar
The Tap Room
Live jazz and piano music accompany craft cocktails in a mahogany-paneled lounge that opens onto the Horseshoe Garden patio.
At the table
The Lobby Lounge serves afternoon tea with scones and tea sandwiches beneath arched windows facing the Horseshoe Garden.
How it began
After failing as Hotel Wentworth in 1907, railroad tycoon Henry Huntington bought the property and hired architect Myron Hunt to design a winter resort.
