PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Hotel Dena, Pasadena Los Angeles, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel is officially open. The 311-room hotel is designed for those with an imaginative spirit, featuring touchpoints of art, dance, music, and culture. The hotel is in the heart of downtown Pasadena’s creative scene, just steps from iconic institutions like the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and Pasadena Convention Center and only 20 minutes from the Hollywood Burbank Airport. Hotel Dena is part of Marriott Bonvoy’s Tribute Portfolio® and aims to attract travelers looking for fresh experiences that reflect individuality. Owned by Monarch Alternative Capital and managed by HHM Hotels, Hotel Dena is a part of HHM’s Independent Collection, lifestyle hotels that are connected to local communities and offer personalized service.
“The new Hotel Dena celebrates originality, offering a destination that encourages unique opportunities to interact with the arts,” says Naveen Kakarla, President and CEO of HHM Hotels. “We have proudly created a hotel where guests are able to recharge and awaken their creative senses.”
Dash Design oversaw the interior design and art curation. WRDSMITH©, an LA-based street artist who utilizes mindfully-chosen words, created a lobby mural and guestroom art. Outdoor murals featuring music and dance were hand-painted by artists Ian Schuler and Leah Tumerman. Artist Kate Neckel developed Pasadena-inspired art for each corridor, and wooden soundwave art by artist Erin Harris captures Van Halen’s song ‘Jump.’
The hotel’s modern and vibrant accommodations offer both a relaxing respite and an energizing homebase, with categories including King, Queen, Studios, and Suites. Specialty suites include the Screenwriter’s Suite, Director‘s Suite, and Dena Suite. All rooms feature Blind Barber® bath amenities. Broadcast Kits are available that include ring lights from Lume Cube© and microphones.
Hotel Dena’s guests start their day at Lyric, offering breakfast and lunch daily from 6:30 AM-3:00 PM. The menu’s inspiration comes from the lyrical genius of musicians and poets.
