Hilton Pasadena, at 168 South Los Robles Avenue, has 17 meeting rooms, including the 7,600 sq ft International Ballroom for up to 800 theater-style. Above the Line provides audio, video, lighting and LED for conferences, galas and weddings across the hotel.
The hotel pairs the International, California and Pacific ballrooms with a long list of breakout rooms. We size sound, video and lighting to each space from the hotel's own chart.
Room names, sizes and capacities come from the hotel's Events page at hilton.com. Photos are the hotel's own. Production notes describe a typical Above the Line setup for each space.
The hotel's largest room, with a 3,456 sq ft foyer outside.
Theater 800 · Reception 700 · Banquet 600 · Schoolroom 450
For a general session in the full International Ballroom, we set a center LED wall with two side screens, and add delay speakers for the back rows.
A second ballroom for training sessions, dinners and breakouts.
Banquet 340 · Theater 250 · Schoolroom 140
For a classroom-style training in the California Ballroom, we run two screens down the long wall and add table mics for Q&A.
A mid-size room for workshops and lunches.
Reception 200 · Theater 150 · Banquet 150 · Schoolroom 100
For a crescent-round workshop in San Gabriel, we use one bright projector and screen, with a podium mic and a wireless handheld for the room.
A smaller ballroom that splits three ways for breakouts.
Theater 200 · Banquet 150 · Reception 100
When Pacific splits into A, B and C, each section gets its own projector, screen and speaker, so three sessions can run at once.
A meeting room that divides into two for smaller sessions.
Pasadena: Theater 150 · Banquet 120 · Schoolroom 100
For a hollow-square meeting in Pasadena, we put a display at each end and a mic at every few seats, so the whole table can be heard.
San Marino, Monterey and the Santa and San rooms, for breakouts and small meetings.
San Marino: Theater 90 · Banquet 60 · Reception 50
For a breakout program across these rooms, we put a matching projector, screen and audio kit in each, so every session runs the same way.
Two boardrooms for executive meetings.
Conference 12 and 16
For a hybrid board meeting in Santa Monica, we add a camera bar and table mics, so remote attendees can see and hear the whole table.
All figures come from the capacity chart on the hotel's Events page.
