Customer Reviews
Title: A spectacular hilltop stay that I still think about I stayed at The Patrician Hollywood Universal some time ago, but the fact that I’m writing this review late says a lot—I still think about how special it was. The house is a beautiful Mediterranean‑style mansion on the hill with sweeping views over Pasadena and the surrounding valley, in a quiet, safe neighborhood above the Rose Bowl. The host (TJ) is warm, gracious, and genuinely attentive, and staying here feels more like visiting an elegant private home than being in a typical hotel. Breakfast was a real highlight: unhurried, generous, and served with care, and I especially enjoyed two long, easy mornings over breakfast with the TJ that made the stay feel very personal. My room was comfortable and quiet, and the common areas
Great view from the hill top. Very quiet neighborhood. Super host TJ served us breakfast, offered travel tips, a fun guy to talk to! It is about 15 minutes drive to downtown Pasadena. Not a big deal but just know the house is on top of a hill. And two of the rooms are Jack and Jill. Thanks for the experience and connections!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Patrician and would have loved to stay longer. Extremely comfortable home. Beautiful views and gorgeous rooms. TJ is the most charming and wonderful host who has a wealth of knowledge on restaurants and sights to see in the area. We also felt we met new friends during our stay. A peacefully oasis!!!
Our stay at the Patrician B&B in Pasadena was very enjoyable and unlike other accommodations that we both could remember. TJ, the house manager, made our stay absolutely unique. The villa is located at the top of a cozy, quiet Pasadena hill offering beautiful views over the Los Angeles valley. The historic house is beautiful inside as well as its surrounding outdoor spaces. The 3 of us stayed in Pasha’s Paradise, a luxurious and very comfortable room with a large sitting area, spacious bathroom and a second powder room. The interior of the Patrician is beautifully decorated with many Asian artifacts some of which are Thai and reminded us of our several visits to Thailand. The spacious living room with a large fireplace was warm and inviting. The kitchen, which has a large island with seats
I just spent a wonderful, magical week at the Patrician, atop the western hills of Pasadena. Great rooms, views and grounds — but best of all is TJ, the house’s owner and host, who has filled the P with amazing artifacts from his world travels, with a focus on SE Asia. TJ prepares his delicious breakfasts in his comfortable high-tech kitchen, and serves them around its 6-stool island, or outdoors on the patio. TJ extends himself to each guest, and is one of the most interesting, thoughtful and generous persons I’ve met. I hope I can grab a room at the Patrician for my next LA trip.
