Hotel Dena, Pasadena Los Angeles, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

11 Best Affordable Hotels in Los Angeles for Under $300 a Night | Condé Nast Traveler

"Steps from Old Town Pasadena’s restaurants and boutiques, this full-service hotel channels the city’s historic theater scene into a contemporary stay, with public spaces that feel more like a modern gallery than a standard lobby thanks to rotating art displays, bold colors, and sociable areas for meeting up before or after a show. Guest rooms follow a clean, modern aesthetic with graphic headboards, accented walls, curated local artwork, and streamlined furniture that add personality without overwhelming, while large windows pull in California light and frame views of either the San Gabriel Mountains or tree-lined streets and historic buildings, and bright, functional bathrooms with walk-in showers, oversized mirrors, and simple black-and-white tile nod to classic Pasadena design and a blend of historic charm, artistic sensibility, and relaxed California warmth." - Paris Wilson
