The Langham Huntington in Pasadena, California, hosts seminars, galas, receptions and weddings from small boardroom meetings to groups of about 1,000 guests. The hotel lists 21 event venues and more than 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space on a 17-acre estate, with 379 guest rooms on site.
Seminars and company events
The meetings offer centers on two historic ballrooms, the Huntington Ballroom and the Georgian Ballroom, each of which can be paired with a neighboring foyer or garden. The Boardroom suits smaller working sessions, and breakout rooms are available for split groups. The hotel's events team handles planning, and the site states that setups range from classroom and theatre to cabaret, banquet and standing receptions.
Outdoor spaces extend the program. The Horseshoe Garden holds up to 1,000 people, which makes it the natural choice for a company reception, a product launch or an evening dinner under open sky. The Courtyard, the Pavilion, the Japanese Garden and the Viennese Terrace give smaller groups a separate setting for a welcome drink or a coffee break between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
Six of the venues are presented for weddings, with more than 30,600 square feet of event space in total. The Huntington Ballroom is listed with a capacity of 1,000. Ceremonies and receptions can be arranged indoors in the historic ballrooms or outdoors in the gardens. A dedicated wedding team answers enquiries, and guests can stay in the hotel's suites and private cottages.
