Pasadena Hotel & Pool
Pasadena, CA, United States
The historic Pasadena Hotel & Pool has been revived by leading interior design and architecture firm Stonehill Taylor. Originated in 1926 during the city’s renaissance, the hotel was purchased by a local prominent businesswoman, known as Constance G.L. Perry upon its completion. Today, the renovation of the lobby, courtyard space, and pool deck honor the rich past of the property, nodding to a Spanish colonial influence.
Pasadena became a popular tourist destination for those looking to escape cold winters, leading to a surge of developments centered around the arts, such as playhouses, art galleries, and musical theaters. Inspired by this Golden Age of Pasadena, the redesign incorporates hints of the 1920s displayed through sourced, unique, and vintage artwork, as well as California Mission Style furnishings, creating a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Stonehill Taylor incorporated furniture to feel like it is a mix that was collected throughout California from the 1920’s to today.
Pasadena Hotel’s exterior features stucco-clad walls, and neoclassical details are carried over into the interiors. To modernize the space while recognizing its past, Stonehill Taylor kept the coffered ceiling and restored the original terracotta flooring to highlight the property’s distinctive history. The design team sourced many of the furnishings from flea markets such as Round Top Antiques Show in Texas, Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, and Big Daddy’s Antiques in Los Angeles and gave them a new life by adding striking upholstery.
Stonehill Taylor transformed the lobby to a modern and comfortable space with Spanish colonial influences paired with collected furnishings. The walls have been repainted from an off-white to a moody chocolate brown color. Warm finishes make the space feel inviting. Infills of patterned terracotta tiles were added to embellish the property’s original historic flooring. Terracotta and neutral tones stand out against the darker warmer hues, creating a striking color contrast. Mirrored panels were replaced with a tile that has a Spanish motif for a dramatic layering impact. The design team placed a wallcovering behind the fireplace and in the phone booths to create a striking, mural-like effect. Collections of artworks, and some sourced pieces, are displayed throughout the interiors framed in gold to add another layer of contrast to the dark walls.
The bar features wire, brushed oak wood and marble. The repeated square motifs on the ceiling and original door paneling inspired the trim details on the bar face. Comfortable chairs and seating convey a lounge-like feel for guests. The collection of furniture allows for groups of people to sit and socialize while the back-bar feels very simple with its traditional styling.
The courtyard space has been revitalized as an area for guests to come in and lounge in the morning or enjoy a drink at night. Stonehill Taylor incorporated touches of lush greenery accompanied by light blues and pinks to create a relaxed atmosphere. To pull the space together, each corner is designed with two towering birds of paradise, whose blossoms add bright coloring to the courtyard. The legacy of the hotel shines through the tiling, flagstone floor, and elements from the original hotel opening in the 1920’s. A standout component of the courtyard is the fountain with a grand glazed urn surrounded by the original tile.
