Living Room. Relax in this quiet, comfortable room and enjoy the views of the San Gabriel Mountains while sipping a complimentary cup of tea or glass of wine before dinner.
Elegantly decorated, the Daybreak Terrace Room has a private balcony, facing toward the East for morning sun. It has a luxurious four-poster bed with soothing colors and beautiful views of nature. The expansive bathroom has a state-of-the-art air spa tub which feels like a full body massage. Take a relaxing bubble bath while contemplating the quiet, green hillside. This is a place where you can indulge yourself.
Feel like you are in your own private tree house while you rest in a British Colonial furnished room. Nap in the Raffles’ style four-poster bed. Enjoy a book in the overstuffed chair with ottoman. Walk out onto the balcony for a better view of the sunset. This room is a serene, spacious, and a quiet retreat in the midst of our oak woods.

Tucked away in the hills above the Arroyo Seco, The Arroyo Vista Inn provides a relaxed getaway in a secluded setting. More than just another chain hotel in Los Angeles, our historic bed and breakfast is actually a cozy yet spacious example of the classic Craftsman homes for which South Pasadena is famous. Built in 1910, the Arroyo Vista Inn occupies a home designed by noted architect Lester Moore, and it is one of the few remaining examples of his residential design. To stay with us is to be transported back to an earlier, simpler, more peaceful time. When you check into the B&B, set away from the urban sprawl of Los Angeles and the academic bustle of Pasadena, you feel like you’ve escaped to a quieter, gentler world. After a two-year green restoration process, the Arroyo Vista Inn opened to rave reviews in 2007 and continues to receive exceptional reviews today. The hotel palette is soothing, and subtly reflects the colors of rustic Los Angeles, in tones like sage, butter, adobe, and sky. Walls throughout the inn feature lovely art from Pat’s personal collection. Our nine unique rooms offer beautiful views, cozy beds, and modern amenities such as cable and complimentary wireless internet. Retreat to the Arroyo Vista Inn and each day you'll enjoy impeccable service, gourmet breakfasts featuring fresh fruits and vegetables from our garden, and afternoon refreshments of wine and cheese.

5 out of 5Quiet and gracious stay
January 10, 2013
I stayed five nights and enjoyed every minute. The room was thoughtfully appointed with a large bathroom with a bathtub. I had privacy when I wanted it and company when I did. The breakfasts were creatively healthy and appetizing. I especially liked the reading material about Pasadena that helped me learn more about the area I was visiting. I will return for another stay.

January 07, 2013
With a trip to the Rose Bowl, there is only one place to stay! The Arroyo Vista Inn is a quaint spot in South Pasadena, within walking distance of the Rose Parade, and a little farther the Rose Bowl. The accommodation is better than a home-away-from-home; amenities and hospitality are graciously supplied, yet privacy is ample. Delicious breakfasts every morning, and a selection of cheese and wines are available in the evening--including champagne on the 31st. Thanks Pat and others for making our stay special!

4.4 out of 5Fun in South Pasadena
March 06, 2012
My sweetie and I spent a celebratory weekend at this great inn. The views are amazing from every room I saw, the breakfasts are fabulous and the host, Pat, was great. She offered up advise of places to eat and things to do in the area as well as making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in the inn. We walked to the neat little downtown area, where we had some fantastic food and a lot of fun in some of the quirky shops along Mission and the area. The bed was very comfy, the breakfasts outstanding and the entire inn was fun to explore. Just beautiful and worth a visit.
4.8 out of 5Perfect place to rest and recover
September 24, 2011
I booked the Arroyo Vista Inn so that I could come and go as I pleased while visiting our son, his wife, and their 2-yr-old son who also live in South Pasadena. The past 18 months have been challenging, with my husband facing so many health problems. The caretaker is often the one who really needs a vacation and I got it at the Arroyo Vista Inn. It is so quiet! I value this above all, since so many hotels have very noisy doors and little insulation. I will return!
5 out of 5very nice place/ SIX stars needed here!
September 13, 2011
There are plenty of 5-star reviews here and rightfully so. We were late getting there (after 7PM) but the wine & high-quality cheese were still out and delicious! We are quiet folk who converse but enjoy "alone" time. There were chatty guests at breakfast but the hostess graciously kept them occupied while we enjoyed our romantic breakfast. This shows the utmost professionalism. This hostess also managed to cook our breakfast quickly and seemingly effortlessly serve us well in tandem with the others. The peace and quiet here at night was unparalleled, and the traffic noise was not loud enough to be bothersome despite our room facing the street ( it's located in town so minor sounds are expected.) We were thrilled that check in/out was virtually nonexistent, making us feel like we already lived there. I am a germophobe who refuses to stay in hotels with bedbugs or roaches- and this location was spotless. I do worry though that once everyone finds out the value, my chances of an open room will diminish.... Thank you for the wonderful time we had AVI!
