0.1 miles from Pasadena Convention Center

0.2 miles from Pasadena Convention Center
168 S Los Robles Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101

0.4 miles from Pasadena Convention Center
191 N Los Robles Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101
A polished address in the historic district with a terrace and garden that reset your headspace after a floor-walking day. Ventanas handles Californian cuisine at a level that elevates a team dinner above the convention catering baseline.

8 Rating (750 Reviews)
0.5 miles from Pasadena Convention Center
180 N Fair Oaks Ave, Pasadena, CA 91103
Old Pasadena's restaurant row starts at the front door, which solves the dinner question before you finish checking in. A hot tub, 5,500 square feet of on-site meeting space, and 314 rooms give this Courtyard more convention infrastructure than most full-service competitors at its price point.
Residence Inn Los Angeles Pasadena/Old Town
8 Rating (313 Reviews)
0.6 miles from Pasadena Convention Center
21 West Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91103
For conventions that stretch beyond three days, a full kitchen and complimentary breakfast shift the economics. Cook once, expense less; the savings compound across a five-day exhibit schedule.
Pasadena Hotel & Pool
8.5 Rating (2,791 Reviews)
0.8 miles from Pasadena Convention Center
928 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91106
Art Deco character on the South Lake Avenue corridor, where the pool is the actual draw and The Comet Club bar keeps late-night networking going. Independent of loyalty chains, so rates can drop when occupancy dips mid-week.
Pasadena Rose & Crown Hotel
8.6 Rating (1,489 Reviews)
1.1 miles from Pasadena Convention Center
1203 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106
When the convention budget needs to stretch, the Rose & Crown delivers an 8.6 guest rating, complimentary breakfast, and free parking at a fraction of downtown rates. The trade-off is a short drive instead of a walk; rideshare covers the 1.1 miles in about four minutes.
Langham Huntington, Pasadena, Los Angeles
8.7 Rating (586 Reviews)
1.7 miles from Pasadena Convention Center
1401 S Oak Knoll Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106
After a full day on the exhibit floor, the Chuan Spa, two outdoor pools, and 23 acres of manicured grounds reset you at a different altitude. The Royce handles the kind of client dinner where the setting does half the persuading; book the wine library for groups under twelve.
