Hotel Dena, Pasadena Los Angeles, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel has officially opened its doors. The 311-room hotel is designed for those with an imaginative spirit, featuring touchpoints of art, dance, music, and culture. The hotel is ideally located in the heart of downtown Pasadena's creative scene, just steps from iconic institutions like the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, Pasadena Convention Center, and Old Town Pasadena, and it is only 20 minutes from the Hollywood Burbank Airport. Hotel Dena is part of the Tribute Portfolio - part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of 31 extraordinary hotel brands - and aims to attract travelers looking for fresh experiences that reflect their own individuality. Owned by Monarch Alternative Capital and managed by HHM Hotels, Hotel Dena is a part of HHM's Independent Collection, a selection of lifestyle hotels that are connected to local communities and offer personalized service.
Dash Design was tapped to oversee the interior design and art curation for Hotel Dena. WRDSMITH©, an LA-based street artist who utilizes colorful and mindfully chosen words to inspire others, created a lobby mural and signature guest room art. Large-scale outdoor murals featuring music and dance were hand-painted by artists Ian Schuler and Leah Tumerman. Artist Kate Neckel developed Pasadena-inspired wall coverings for each corridor of the property, and wooden sound wave art in the lobby area by artist Erin Harris captures Van Halen's hit song 'Jump.'
The hotel's modern and vibrant guest rooms offer both a relaxing respite and an energizing homebase, with a variety of categories including King and Queen rooms, Studios, and Suites. Specialty suites include the Screenwriter's Suite, Director's Suite, and Dena Suite — each boasting 600 to 650 square-feet, a king bed with a lush pillow-top mattress, a sofa bed, a writing/work desk, and more. All accommodations feature Blind Barber® bath amenities, a company that values the benefits of community, inclusivity, and confidence. If a guest is a content creator or a business professional in need of appropriate lighting and sound for capturing their best self on camera, Hotel Dena offers Broadcast Kits that include ring lights from Lume Cube© and microphones. Kits are complimentary to borrow, based on availability.
Hotel Dena's guests can start their day at Lyric, which offers inventive breakfast and lunch options daily from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The inspiration for the delectable menu is derived from the lyrical genius of musicians and poets, paying homage to the rebellious spirit of rock and roll, alternative vibes, and hip-hop beats. Boasting a vast vinyl record collection and musically charged art and design, Lyric creates an environment that allows guests to fuel up while grooving to morning sounds of renowned artists.
