Bissell House Bed & Breakfast

If you enjoy the true B&B experience, you'll love the Bissell House. Hidden behind hedges that carefully isolate it from busy Orange Grove Avenue, this antiques-filled 1887 gingerbread Victorian -- the former home of the vacuum heiress and now owned by the Hoyman family -- offers a unique taste of life on what was once Pasadena's "Millionaire's Row." Outfitted in a traditional chintz-and-cabbage-roses style, all individually decorated rooms have private bathrooms (two with an antique claw-foot tub, one with a whirlpool tub, four with showers only), individual heating and air-conditioning (a B&B rarity), Internet access, and very comfortable beds. If you don't mind stairs, request one of the more spacious top-floor rooms. Most rooms are now equipped with flat screen TVs -- all have televisions of some sort -- DVDs and premium cable, and the downstairs library features a selection of DVDs for guest use. The beautifully landscaped grounds boast an inviting pool, Jacuzzi, and deck with lounge chairs. Included in the room rate is an elaborately prepared vegetarian breakfast served in the large dining room, as well as an afternoon dessert. Tip: A self-serve continental breakfast is also available weekdays for business guests, provided notice is given no later than the night before.
