Luxury Healing HotelsThe Langham Huntington, Pasadena
The Langham Huntington, Pasadena Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena feels like stepping into a different era — honestly, the kind of place where you half expect to see someone in a vintage Rolls-Royce pulling up the circular drive. This five-star property sits on 23 acres in Pasadena, and I mean really sits — it’s got this commanding presence that makes you slow down and actually notice where you are. The Spanish Colonial Revival architecture isn’t just for show either; you can feel the weight of history here, dating back to 1907 when it first opened as the Hotel Wentworth.
The Grounds and Setting
What strikes you immediately is how much space this place has — rare for Southern California, you know? The gardens are meticulously maintained, with these sprawling lawns that couples seem to gravitate toward (makes sense why they rate the location so highly). There’s a tennis court tucked away if you’re into that, and the fitness center overlooks the grounds in a way that actually makes working out feel less like a chore. The parking situation is refreshingly straightforward too — private and on-site, which anyone who’s dealt with LA area hotels will appreciate.
The Room Experience
The room I stayed in had this perfect balance of classic elegance and modern comfort that luxury hotels often struggle to nail. The beds really are as comfortable as everyone says — I’m talking about the kind of sleep where you wake up confused about what time zone you’re in. Floor-to-ceiling windows in many rooms frame views of either the San Gabriel Mountains or the meticulously landscaped grounds, and there’s something about that morning light filtering through that just sets the right tone for the day.
Dining and Daily Rhythms
The breakfast setup offers both Continental and American options, and while I’m usually skeptical of hotel breakfast spreads, this one actually delivers. The restaurant spaces feel intimate despite the hotel’s grand scale — you’re not eating in some cavernous dining hall. What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to understand the rhythm of a place like this; service feels attentive without being hovering, if that makes sense.
Why Guests Love It
There’s something about The Langham Huntington that just works for people seeking genuine restoration. Maybe it’s the way the property feels removed from the chaos of LA while still being accessible to everything — you’ve got golf courses within a couple miles, but you can also just disappear into these gardens for hours. The 8.7 rating reflects what you experience here: a place that takes luxury seriously without taking itself too seriously. It’s the kind of retreat where you can actually unwind, whether you’re planning romantic getaways or just need to reset somewhere that understands the value of space, quiet, and doing things properly.

Admiral from United States
I love the Langham - I loved it when it was the Ritz and the Sheraton. The best hotel in Pasadena and very close to downtown LA. Just a fantastic hotel and beautiful property with top of the line amenities and services. Highly recommend the spa. Jessica at the Tap Room is also a fantastic - highly recommend visiting her at the bar! The Langham...

I did not get a receipt for the room rate etc like one does when you check out. They were supposed to email it. NEVER DID. STILL WAITING
Terri from United States
The staff at the Tap Room AND the Terrace were very accommodating and attentive - the food was very good. The hotel was pet friendly to an older small dog.
