The Huntington in Pasadena is now a Ritz Carlton. I try to stay there for court appearances when the government will pick up a chunk of the tab.

Oh, the Top of the Mark is great. It's wonderful for Easter if you have children. I really do recommend it.

Oops, I meant The Huntington Garden/Library in Pasadena. It's great.

I just checked out Rose Tree Cottage's website and apparently, the city of Pasadena is doing some affordable housing zoning and they may raze this lovely group of cottages to build 80 condo units.....if you've not been and are heading to Pasadena soon, I say check it out (locals too)
