Hi,

i am getting married in July and am looking for a hotel in the (greater) LA / coastal / Pasadena areas to stay at for my and my fiancées wedding night. I have scoured TripAdvisor and flyertalk and have whittled down the options to a couple that I like the look of. I would really appreciate some opinions on these hotels and/or any others that you think might be (even) better.

We aren't flying to our honeymoon destination until the late evening of the day after, so staying in a hotel a little way away from the airport isn't a problem.

I have a couple of desires/parameters:
- 4 or 5* hotel with impeccable service.
- Hotel to have a great romantic vibe. This is highly subjective, but it's safe to say that I am not looking for a standard chain hotel.
- Hotel rooms to be quiet and private. Bonus points if the rooms offer a double shower / jacuzzi / bathtub.
- My fiancee really appreciates being outdoors, so an opportunity to walk around beautiful grounds or a beach would be lovely.
- Less than $500 - $525 /night

Hotels that I have picked out so far (in order of preference):
- The Langham Huntington, Pasadena
- The Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Santa Monica
- Viceroy Santa Monica


Thanks very much,
Jon
