Hotel and Travel

Meeting Location

The meeting will be held on the Caltech campus, on the fourth floor of the Keith Spalding building. 

If you are coming directly from the airport, we will provide a locked room where you can stow your baggage while you attend the meeting, although we cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items.

 

Meeting Hotel

Hilton Pasadena
168 South Los Robles Avenue
Pasadena, CA 91101
626-577-1000

The Hilton Pasadena is a 5 min drive or half hour walk from Caltech.

 

Transportation from LAX to Pasadena

There are a variety of options:

 

1. FlyAway Bus to Union Station & Metro Gold Line to Pasadena & Walk/Uber to Hotel or Meeting

This is the cheapest option ($10 & $3.75 & variable), but can take a while (about 2 hours). The FlyAway Bus leaves LAX every half hour for most of the day. Once at Union Station, the Gold Line train leaves every 7 minutes northbound towards Pasadena. Get off at Del Mar Station. From there, it's a 15 min walk to the Hilton Pasadena or a 30 min walk to Caltech. With luggage, an uber or lyft is easier for the last leg. Taxis are hard to find.

 

2. Shared Ride Vans

This is the second most affordable option $35 and gets you door-to-door service (very little walking) but can take a while because you will have to wait for other passengers to be picked up and dropped off.

 

3. A Taxi from LAX to Pasadena will cost about  $80, but is fast and convenient. If you are going straight to the meeting from the airport, tell the driver to take you to 1200 East California Blvd in Pasadena.

 

4. An Uber or Lyft from LAX to Pasadena will cost about $50, but depends heavily on traffic. If you are going straight to the meeting from the airport, tell the driver to take you to 1200 East California Blvd in Pasadena.
