Castle Green Tours, Pasadena

About Castle Green Tours

Castle Green Tours opens the public to self-guided exploration of the 1898 Moorish Colonial and Spanish Revival building twice yearly, granting visitors access to the ground floor, the ornate enclosed Bridge crossing Raymond Avenue, more than twenty residential condominium units, and the restored Penthouse with its glass roof. Architect Frederick L. Roehrig designed the seven-story structure with domes, arches, pillars, and balconies; interior spaces feature faux marbleized paneling painted by artisans on grey slate. The venue sits next to Central Park in Old Pasadena and was built as the Hotel Green's annex, later converted to fifty individually owned units. Tours take about one hour and include holiday snacks, a photobooth, and musical performances. Early-access tickets priced at seventy-five dollars allow eleven a.m. arrival with limited guests; general admission tickets at sixty dollars permit arrival after noon, and castlegreen.com listed the December 13 tour through that date.
