"The Langham is an absurdly luxurious, 110-year-old hotel that sits amongst the manicured lawns and stately mansions of Pasadena. We’d pay the $10 valet fee to simply roam around the estate, but stopping for a drink at The Tap Room is a good idea, too. The historic bar has a huge chandelier-adorned interior that looks like a suite on the Titanic, plus an outdoor patio overlooking the grounds. If it’s gloomy out though, you'll find us inside by the fireplace sipping scotch. " - brant cox
