Hotel
4-Star - $$ For your convenience, we've secured a limited number of discounted rooms at The Westin Pasadena ($199 per night for single/double and $219 for triple/quad). The discount will expire for any rooms booked after April 24. The Westin is located in Civic Center, which is walking distance to the plethora of bars and restaurants in Old Town, a 15 minute drive from the venue, and offers a pool, fitness center, and more. Please follow the link to the dedicated page for booking a reduced rate for our event!
Hotel
5-Star - $$$ The Langham is where we will be spending our wedding weekend, if you're looking for a splurge. Guests have access to the hotel's pool, spa facilities, tennis courts, and premium bars and restaurants (The Tap Room is one of our favorite cocktail spots, with live music throughout the weekend!) The Langham is also where Marek surprised Kim with a stay during their engagement weekend in February 2023!
Flight
For greatest ease, we highly recommend out-of-town guests fly into Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) if possible, as it is just a quick 15-30 minute drive to the heart of Pasadena and most areas immediately surrounding the venue. Because it's a much smaller airport, you'll feel like a VIP walking straight off the plane into baggage claim, as well as save yourself a ton of gray hair navigating security on the way back (that said, please don't forget to account for Memorial Day lines!)
Flight
Ontario is another smaller, more convenient airport similar to Burbank, but closer to an hour out from Pasadena and the venue.
Flight
LAX can take anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour and a half to get to and from Pasadena & surrounding areas depending on traffic. You may take a taxi, Uber, or rent a car. Alternatively, The Flyaway Bus offers a more affordable public transportation option that will take you to Downtown Union Station, where you will be able to transfer to a Metro line or catch a shorter ride to your final destination.
Travel Note
The venue is located in Sierra Madre, CA, where there are many great areas to stay within just a quick 15 minute drive. Old Town Pasadena is the heart and most walkable area of Pasadena with tons of hotels, restaurants, shopping, and more. Eagle Rock and Highland Park are also great alternatives for younger, hipper bars and restaurants, and a little closer to other popular neighborhoods in LA. Finally, most suburbs immediately surrounding the venue, including Sierra Madre, Altadena, La Cañada, Arcadia, and San Marino are family-friendly spots for an Airbnb, and most close to the foothills if you like to hike!
Travel Note
If you plan on staying in the Pasadena area most of the weekend, Uber should meet most of your needs. If you plan to explore elsewhere in LA or Southern California, we definitely recommend taking a look at typical drive times when comparing the cost and convenience of Uber to renting a car, as things can be pretty spread out and rides can add up! Lastly, public transportation in LA is limited, but it's not non-existent. Pasadena has several Metro stations to connect you with other areas like Downtown, Highland Park, and more!
