This is an extremely unique, charming, historical property in a beautiful area which is just begging to be explored. The house itself warrants a longer visit to appreciate the care and attention paid to making it endlessly interesting, and TJ enhances the entire experience with his hospitality and knowledge. I highly recommend staying here for a delightful respite from the fast pace of LA while being ideally situated.

This property is very special. It is a villa set high on a hill in Pasadena, minutes from Old Town Pasadena but very accessible for other locations. With only five rooms, the hotel really is a B&B and the owner is very welcoming.

We weren’t sure what to expect from our stay. The place looked great and from all of the pictures. What we got was way more than we paid for. TJ was the best host. The place was AMAZING. The age and history of the house were so interesting. The views were to die for. If we could double the available starts to give we would.

WOW! The Patrician is the place to be if you want to relax and take in the views. My husband and I highly recommend this wonderful location as a fun getaway. The best part was our host TJ. His hosting skills are on point. He provided the classy finishing touches to our stay at this beautiful home hidden in the hills. Tj keeps the house immaculate and has fresh flowers throughout the house. TJ also made us a delicious breakfast. We enjoyed our breakfast in the kitchen with another couple and TJ. It was a lovely morning.Can't wait to recommend this place to anyone that will listen. Thanks TJ!

In spite of it’s name suggesting a 500 room luxury hotel (the promoter’s idea for gaining priority in searches) the Patrician is a beautiful large converted house high on a ridge overlooking Pasadena and the LA basin, thus it’s really a guest house, but oh so nice! With a pretty garden on a point overlooking the city, we declared our intention to have a glass of wine and watch the sunset there. TJ, the owner and host, unexpectedly then set a table for us with a dish of nuts and some wine glasses. We had a most pleasant discussion with him (multiple times during our one-night stay) and I felt his friendly and interested involvement enhanced our experience here greatly. We had the single room up a circular stairs from the kitchen. The room (smallish with two twin beds) was tastefully furnished with its own bathroom off the landing outside the door. About 8 AM the scent of warming breakfast croissants wafting up the stairs was a delicious wake-up. This stay was on the expensive side for us but we took a chance based on the description and reviews—it was worth every penny!

A beautiful and distinctive B and B!

We were delighted by The Patrician! Built in the 1920s, the home's architecture, interiors, and landscaping provided a lovely atmospheric home base during our visit to Pasadena and surrounding areas. There are beautiful antiques and artifacts throughout the house, and I wish I could have spent more time looking at everything. We were given an upgrade to The Hideaway room, which is styled with dramatic Moroccan touches, a walk-in closet and double-sink bathroom. TJ is the quintessential host who knows his business and makes you feel right at home but gives you plenty of privacy. He is well-traveled and can provide ample tips on restaurants and things to do. He is also an excellent raconteur with plenty of stories about L.A., and we had many entertaining conversations. You are likely to meet other guests at breakfast with interesting backgrounds as well. Continental breakfast is included and we appreciated the pour-over coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice as well as the fresh berries with yogurt and granola, along with a warm bakery item each morning. The tinkling fountain on the tiled terrace provides a lovely "welcome home" at the end of your day, and the spectacular hilltop location and views of Pasadena and Los Angeles feel indulgent and invigorating. We were quite pleased with our experience and may have found a regular home away from home for future visits with our daughter, who just moved to the area.

If you are looking for a typical hotel experience, this may not be a fit for you. However (and at this point I will transition to poetry): “If you enjoy beautiful accommodations - If you have a penchant for lively conversations - If your cocktail cravings veer toward a lemon drop - If you have an appreciation for views that are non-stop. Then may I suggest the Patrician for your Pasedna stay? It is a unique and special place for a romantic getaway!” As has been mentioned in numerous reviews, T.J. is a top-notch concierge and host. His suggestions provided some real highlights for our weekend! He obviously takes great pride and joy in hosting guests on his amazing property. Truly a memorable time - Bed linens were so soft and the towels were fluffy! It’s those small details that make a stay feel special. The Patrician has so many little touches that make it stand out in a crowd of B&B’s. The pour-over coffee is a totally zen experience that has me re-thinking my current morning ritual. The decor is sumptuous and every piece seems to tell a story. This is a quiet spot - not a party house. There are stairs so take that into consideration. Also - you are asked to remove your shoes upon entering the home, so a pair of inside slippers would be recommended. Thank you, T.J. for a wonderful weekend!!

To start things off, it was a balmy summer night in Los Angeles, California. The drive up to TJs was a long winding climb through the hills of California. Crickets chirped in the forest bringing a magical feel to the tree lined street, which instantly calmed our post-travel nerves When we arrived, TJ walked down to greet us with a warm smile, ready to welcome us into his home. Pleasantly surprised, we followed him up the exquisitely tiled stairs and entered the home. It was a marvelous sight to behold, as the decorations, furnishing and unique objects caught our eye and sparkled in the low light- creating a beautiful ambiance. Unbeknownst to us, we had arrived at the perfect time, for a pizza 🍕 party and one of TJs hand spun, infamous lemon 🍋 drops 🍸 TJ welcomed us into his home like we were his own family. Although our trip to LA was for an unfortunate event, our host at The Patrician Hollywood Universal made our stay a ray of sunshine ☀️ during a difficult time. The property itself was blissfully tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown LA, creating a zen like feel only a birds eye distance from the city. The view was marvelous, and the house was regal. The beds were like sleeping on a cloud ☁️ and the complimentary breakfast was fit for the likes of Kings and Queens. Fresh squeezed orange juice made by TJ himself each morning created a zesty and invigorating start to the day. Incredibly clean. Max comfort. if you get the chance to stay here dont hesitate!

Finding a treasure in the foothills of Los Angeles

What an amazing find! The location is out of this world. One that movie stars enjoy and one that you will never get tired of. At night you have the entire LA to your feet. Amazing. The hosts are amazing. TJ and his wife Jorie are both so good at making you feel home that after just a few minutes I felt I had known them for decades. The house is delightful, amazing, old and historic all at the same time. The decorations are just the over the top touch. The rooms are delightful, not that you will spend much time in them. Keep in mind two of their rooms are Jack and Jill bathroom shares. Something I personally do not do but if you are traveling with family or good friends that might very much be your option. The two Twins upstairs is what we opted for because of the bathroom being private. The room is small but very cute decorated and therefore certainly a good option. I would call it the tower room. Up the spiral staircase of this historic home, that alone is an adventure worth taking. This house is an old historic home. If you are expecting large generic decorated rooms this is not your place. You are not just meeting amazing hosts but also staying at a historic home with tons of character and history. We are so looking forward to another trip to LA just to be able to stay again with TJ and Jorie. ...oh and be prepared to get a really nice breakfast in the morning and a great conversation over coffee or tea. We did not want to leave. Thank you Jorie and TJ.

T.J. was an excellent and accommodating host! He had intimate knowledge of the area and made great suggestions for us to make the most of our time in LA. The property itself was beautiful, and my partner and I wish we'd had more time to thoroughly enjoy it. If we are ever back in LA, though, The Patrician is definitely at the top of our list for a place to stay!

My stay here was wonderful! We were greeted by TJ, the very kind host, who immediately made us feel welcome and at home. The property itself was gorgeous, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax. Our room was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I came for the Oasis show at the Rose Bowl, and my biggest concern was parking—because who wants to deal with that awful traffic before and after the show? TJ had the perfect solution. We parked exactly where he suggested, and it was just a quick, easy walk to the Rose Bowl. No traffic, no nonsense. After the show, we were back at the property in no time, relaxing and enjoying each other’s company. To top it all off, TJ hosted a wonderful after party that made the experience even more special. This stay was well worth it, and I’m so grateful to TJ for such an amazing experience. I would absolutely return and highly recommend The Patrician to anyone visiting the area.
