One of Pasadena's most unique buildings & one of the last of the Grand Hotels. The Castle Green was built in 1898 as the annex for the famous "Hotel Green." The Castle Green is an imposing seven story Moorish Colonial and Spanish style building sitting in the heart of Old Pasadena.
The Castle Green, opened in 1899 as the second of three buildings in the Hotel Green complex, and was a lavish resort for easterners and others escaping winter rigors. Architect Frederick I. Roehrig, for what was later to be called the Central Annex, drew on Moorish, Spanish, Victorian, and other stylistic elements to produce Pasadena's most stunningly original building. He blended domes, arches, pillars, balconies, and covered verandas in a building of structural steel with brick walls and concrete floors, making it Pasadena's first fireproof building. He tied it to the first part of the hotel complex, built on the east side of the street, by an ornate enclosed bridge crossing Raymond Avenue. When the Annex opened for business, its two cylindrical towers on the south and much of the roof line were illuminated with exterior lights. There was even a penthouse garden with a glass roof.
The Hotel Green became the social center of Pasadena, playing host to vacationing tycoons and even presidents. It was also home to both the Tournament of Roses and the Valley Hunt Club.
Filming's such as "The Last Samurai" (Tom Cruise), "The Prestige" (with Hugh Jackman), "The Sting," "Wild at Heart," "Bobby," "Thank You For Smoking,".. and much, much more!
Castle Green has received approximately 5,065 profile views in the last three months.
