    The Patrician was the highlight of our three week trip. Great location, views, comfort, breakfast. Everything was excellent. But best of all was the owner, TJ. He made our visit memorable. Great Stories. Great service. I highly recommend considering this place when you visit Pasadena.

    Amazing location!! The view of LA and the beautiful landscaping and historic house are really special. TJ is a very friendly host full of stories that he’s ready to share and is also a great listener. He also has good suggestions for things to do if you are new to LA. The Zen Garden room was very cozy, comfortable and unique. The bathroom was absolutely spotless with a lovely pine tree view while showering.

    We were 100+% excited by our stay.

    TJ is an amazing host -- friendly, solicitous, respectful and a great conversationalist who doesn't impose on you. The location has beautiful views, high over the LA basin yet a fast and easy drive down to all the attractions of Pasadena. The house is both beautiful and interesting.

    Nothing.

    The Guest House at the top of the mountain is exceptional. Spectacular views across the LA basin; great sunrises and sunsets. The rooms and linens are very nice and our whole experience was top notch. We came in for the Rose Bowl. The Patrician wasn’t just a nice place to visit for a few days. Our hosts were able to help us navigate around LA to the great sites and gave us special treatment for the Parade and parking for the Rose Bowl. We had a wonderful time mingling with our hosts and the other guest who spent the weekend with us. TJ and Jorie (the owners) were present and engaged in just the right way throughout the stay…

    The breakfast. It could be less sugary and a bit more protein-rich.

    The view, the coffee, and the overall experience. The host is great, the property is really nice and the backyard is wonderful. So much to look at and observe. A great place to relax and even work.

    Fantastic! The converted home to hotel/ bed and breakfast was superstar. Our host TJ took care of us like we were family. I can not recommend more highly. From the time I arrive with a lemon martini to the lovely bed room and bath, amazing breakfast TJ elegantly prepared for us ( he is a chef, although he disputes this). The grounds and lovingly restored and decorated Santa Barbara style home built in 1928 was a complete treat! Can't wait to go back!! 10 Star

    We loved everything about it.

    The property is a gorgeous 100+ year old home located in a secluded lush hillside, quite, upscale neighborhood in Pasadena. It’s feels like you’re far away from the hustle and bustle, yet it’s just a quick drive down the hill to Old Town, the freeway, the Huntington Gardens & Library, the Rose Bowl, etc. The views are spectacular. There are places to sit outside and take it all in. You can mingle with other people, or find a quite place to be alone. It’s so peaceful and tranquil. We stayed only one night, but I felt as rested and rejuvenated as if we stayed the whole weekend. The living room is stunning and appointed with all kinds of interesting artifacts and decor. The fireplace and obviously the historic tile floor are noteworthy and even more stunning than the photos indicate. We stayed in the turret room with the twin beds and private bathroom. The beds are nice, and the room and bathroom were spotless. It was a very hot weekend, but the air conditioning worked great and we were always comfortable. We had everything we needed. What really sets this place apart is the host, T.J. He is professional and communicative with questions/booking/billing, etc., and the friendliest, most hospitable, generous, interesting person you’re going to meet in a long time! T.J. Is the consummate host. He knows exactly how to make you feel at ease and comfortable. He provides you with all the details and information you need without overwhelming you or giving you a long list of instructions. The real treat comes when you’re settled and he welcomes you with some refreshments. He is so engaging and personable—just an incredible conversationalist. He is open, warm, curious, brilliant, knowledgeable and great at facilitating interactions between guests, yet he knows how to let you be, giving you your space and privacy as well. This may sound like an over-the-top review for just one night, but that’s a testament to how much The Patrician and T.J.

    Our room has not been the biggest, and the furniture is a bit older. But everything was very clean, and in comparison with the strong sides of The Patrician, these were only minor issues.

    The Patrician is a unique place. You need to have a car to get there, but once you are there, you have an incredible view and very quiet and safe surroundings. Most important about The Patrician is TJ, the owner. He runs this place with love and dedication, is always there if you need support, prepares a wonderful breakfast, and is one of the best hosts we have ever experienced!

    TJ and Jorie, the owners/operators, were fantastic. They really took care of us and made us feel at home. Their home and the surrounding environment are equally lovely, particularly the views of LA. The other guests were likewise engaging and fun. We highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a relaxing, homey vibe with stimulating, intelligent, and fun conversation.

    The Patrician is a beautiful setting to relax and wind down after taking in the sights and sounds of busy LA and the Hollywood Bowl. We found it to be a hidden gem with a mountain view and a gracious host. TJ was so accommodating and fun to chat with. The property was very clean and tidy both inside and out. Our room was perfect, the bed was comfortable, and the common areas were inviting. Thanks TJ and the Patrician for a wonderful weekend!

    The visit exceeded our expectations.

    The service, location and B&B was simply wonderful. We could not have asked for a better stay, better conversation or better service. The location near the Rose Bowl was an added bonus and took the stress out of the traffic after the event. If you want a quiet, high-end experience, this is your place.

    Situated atop the beautiful hills of Pasadena, the view was gorgeous, the villa comfortable, spacious and tastefully decorated. The host was exceptionally kind and provided us with a cup of coffee and great, insightful conversation upon arrival.

    Not applicable. At first we didn’t realize it was a guest house so we were unsure, but once we got settled the place was amazing as well as the host

    The place was just gorgeous. The host was super warm and welcoming. We didn’t mind it to breakfast but he still gave us some delicious warm croissants before we left. Loved chatting and having a drink with the host as well, learned a lot from our talks as well

    The parking was a bit awkward. The zen room would have benefited from a fan to circulate the air during the heat.

    The breakfast which included fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. The patios had comfortable places to sit and enjoy the views. The stairs to bedroom and private bath was easily accessible. It was interesting to talk to the owners.
