Castle Green, the historic Pasadena hotel turned condominiums, held their annual Christmas tour today and it did not disappoint. I hadn't been to one of their events since before the pandemic and it was good to go back and bask in its beauty and history.
The castle has been used for a number of film shoots, including (most recently)
Babylon, which I am now going to have to watch to see the location. You should really check out the tours - the condos are of limited size (the smallest are about 350 square feet) and it's mind-boggling how the residents figure out how to creatively make the most of their spaces. Not to mention that the historic building is just stunning.

Artwork in unit - per the resident, the artist doesn't have a gallery or sell through one - he just creates these for people he knows.

Big fireplace. Toasty warm.

Big thanks to the Castle Green and the gracious residents who invited us into their beautiful homes. As I mentioned to several of the residents, it must be like living in a movie.
