The Patrician Hollywood exceeded our expectations. We chose it for a short stay to get to know downtown LA and Pasadena arts, culture and food. TJ is an engaging host, with a wealth of local knowledge and the sophistication of a world traveler. The house is a perfect example of 1920s LA style (it could be a movie set), decorated with an eye for the exotic and comfortable. The views of the LA basin from the garden are expansive. The local streets are quiet (and excellent for a morning run).

We had an amazing time at the Patrician! My girlfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and this was the perfect place to do it. TJ was an exceptional host, and the service and attention to detail he gave to our stay was the best I have ever experienced at a boutique hotel or BnB like this one. We will be recommending the Patrician to everyone in our lives who is looking for a peaceful getaway or a perfect home base for exploring LA!

We had an excellent stay and would happily return. TJ is a wonderful host, very friendly and genuinely helpful. Each morning he provided a warm breakfast treat along with a continental breakfast and fresh berries, which was such a lovely way to start the day. He was also knowledgeable about local activities and gave great recommendations that helped us make the most of our time. The location is outstanding, with amazing views and a peaceful, quiet setting that feels like a true retreat. The decor throughout the home is thoughtful and beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our room was spacious and impeccably clean, with plenty of space to relax and unwind. If you are looking for a serene getaway with exceptional hospitality and attention to detail, this is a wonderful choice. Highly recommend.

This property is quite close to the rose bowl(15 min drive) Beautiful neighborhood but not walkable as there are not any sidewalks.
