The Scene
For those who want to know what it feels like to live among the elite in the City of Angels, this B&B offers a rare opportunity. The artfully restored Victorian resides on a beautiful tree-lined street in Pasadena's Millionaires' Row. If you're in town for a convention, the Rose Bowl (book well in advance) or simply to see the sights, it's a great alternative to the generic mid-level hotels whose rates are virtually the same.

The Details
Guest rooms are spacious, with large beds and romantic decor. The public areas include a wood-paneled library and a fireplace-endowed sitting salon. Guests are treated to a full-scale breakfast that can be served by the richly planted outdoor pool area. The property is within walking distance of many landmark houses and lovely public gardens.
