Whilst in L.A., we stayed at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena. It was the Ritz Carlton Huntington for many years and is a very old building that was extensively renovated in 1991. Even though we got a dirt cheap internet rate (relatively speaking... for a 5 star property!), we ended up with a very large room overlooking the rear gardens.
I like old hotels. There's a certain majesty, especially in the public spaces, which tend to be large and impressive. The rooms are a bit more of a gamble but it paid off at this location.
On Easter Sunday, we were looking forward to a nice egg hunt in the beautiful gardens. Meh - as with many hunts these days, the property is too afraid of damage to really hide anything in the gardens. So the hunt turns into a foot race for kids to pick up eggs and candy that are just strewn on the lawn. Maybe my kids are just getting too old for this...
