Castle Green, Pasadena

Castle Green, Pasadena

Castle Green dates back to 1898 and is one of Pasadena's most beloved historic locations. This Victorian-era gem has its origins as an annex to Hotel Green, a popular resort of the time. During the 1920s, the hotel became private residences that have attracted artists, collectors, designers, and musicians.

This building features a Mediterranean Revival style invoking elements from southwestern Europe and North Africa into its designs. The hotel has been a famous filming location for its Victorian interiors and beautiful grounds.

Arched walkways and verandas crafted of lovely stone add to the unique beauty of the grounds. There is a lily pond that adds a sense of tranquility to the grounds, despite the hotel being in one of Pasadena's most popular neighborhoods.

Expansive lawn areas and beautiful trees help add to the grounds' inviting nature. Many guests enjoy this area because of how peaceful the grounds are and the number of photo opportunities available.
