same intimate neighborhood allure, yet now infused with a new modern energy and metropolitan offerings that make it a destination in itself.
Just ten miles from downtown Los Angeles, the Pasadena Convention Center provides 80,000 square feet of space for meetings of all sizes. Pasadena offers easy access to LA airports, and 2,500 local hotel rooms –1,200 within walking distance. An eclectic mix of shopping, theaters, golf, museums and gardens are all conveniently just steps away.
Pasadena provides the rare opportunity to host more personalized meetings with all the benefits of the big city. Unique social breakout experiences run the gamut from local team-building activities like hiking Eaton Canyon, to group tours of the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium, to popular wine bars, shopping excursions and cultural events with special group rates. Pasadena’s convenient layout, in conjunction with an array of world-class business and entertainment venues, make Pasadena the perfect destination.
There’s literally something significant around every corner, whether you’re into architecture, design, fashion, music, theatre, museums or galleries. Pasadena is the heartbeat of SoCal’s cultural side.
The charm of the city’s walkable neighborhoods showcases some of the most sought-out locales for emerging and established chefs, many eateries offer alfresco dining—or even romantic rooftop retreats—where diners can savor the temperate Southern California climate alongside some of the region’s most tantalizing cuisine. With more than 500 restaurants, Pasadena boasts more eateries per capita than New York City.
Art Connoisseurs have a myriad of landmark museums and galleries, housing everything from European masters to early California Impressionists to modern art. Literary lovers can peruse rare books and manuscripts. Explore mile upon mile of stunning botanical gardens, top-notch performing arts organizations and live concert venues. The Metro Gold Line makes it easier than ever for art aficionados and cultural addicts to come explore the unique experiences that celebrate the city’s legacy.
Few cities are better known for the combined influence of both art and science than Pasadena. Home to a legacy of worldly achievements in everything from the arts to technology and science, Pasadena was voted “one of the world’s most innovative cities of the West” by Sunset Magazine. Astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble’s telescopic observations from nearby Mount Wilson produced “Hubble’s Law” in 1929, providing a basis for the development of cosmology’s Big Bang theory (and Pasadena is the setting for the fictional TV show of the same name). Albert Einstein visited the city in the 1930s, and Stephen Hawking lectures annually at Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium. Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the nation’s leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system.
Some of the world’s greatest minds have chosen to live and work in Pasadena. Plan your next meeting here and imagine the possibilities.
