Hyatt Place Pasadena, the first Hyatt-branded hotel in the city, is officially open. The new hotel features the Hyatt Place brand’s intuitive design, casual upscale atmosphere and enhanced food and beverage. Perfectly situated in the heart of downtown, the hotel is walking distance to Old Town Pasadena with many shops, restaurants and entertainment to choose from. The hotel is led by Ensemble Real Estate Solutions & Investments, and operated by Interstate Hotels & Resorts.

Pasadena is home to the Rose Bowl Stadium and Tournament of Roses and a selection of leading local innovators and global brands, including NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories, California Institute of Technology, Parsons Corporation, Kaiser Permanente, East West Bank and more.

“With extensive public spaces, an expansive lobby, high-quality exterior materials, fully equipped meeting spaces, and a pool area and sun deck perched on the second floor, we’re confident this hotel will be one of the premier hotels in the Pasadena area that is sure to exceed guest expectations,” said Brian Ehrlich, chief investment officer, hotels for Ensemble Real Estate Investments.
