Los Angeles · Est. 1931
Historic lodging steps from Occidental College — where timeless architecture meets the calm you've been looking for.
Not every stay needs to be extraordinary.
Some just need to be right.
Pauley Hall offers a different kind of lodging experience in Los Angeles — one rooted in history, quiet dignity, and the kind of comfort that doesn't announce itself. Nestled on the slopes above the Occidental College campus, our building has welcomed travelers, families, and students since 1931.
We believe a place to stay should do one thing well: make you feel settled. No fuss, no noise, no performance. Just a room that works, a neighborhood that breathes, and a phone call away from the energy of the city — without being inside it.
Accommodations
Each room is thoughtfully appointed with period details and modern comfort — designed for rest, not spectacle.
Standard
A serene single or double room overlooking the inner garden courtyard. Quiet, bright, and simply furnished.
Classic
A thoughtfully proportioned room with a work desk, reading lamp, and the kind of quiet that helps you think.
Suite
Our largest accommodation — a separate sitting area, original architectural details, and views toward the hills.
Rates vary by season and availability.
Call for AvailabilityThe Experience
Built in 1931, every corridor and window carries the weight of nearly a century of stories.
Set back from the street on a residential slope, the property offers genuine calm in an urban setting.
Whether you need a night, a week, or a month — we accommodate long-term and short-term guests alike.
Walking distance to downtown LA, Echo Park, and the cultural heartbeat of the city — without the noise.
"The best hotels don't try to impress you. They make you forget you're away from home."
— Pauley Hall philosophy
Location
Perched on a residential slope just above Echo Park, Pauley Hall occupies a rare position — close enough to walk to downtown Los Angeles, yet removed enough to hear yourself think. The Occidental College campus is your backyard; the city skyline is your view.
Nearby you'll find the Echo Park Lake promenade, the creative energy of Downtown Arts District, and some of the best coffee and dining in the city — all within a short drive or walk.

Guests
"We stayed here during a visiting weekend and it was exactly what we needed — quiet, clean, and close to campus. The courtyard is beautiful at dusk."
M. Torres
"I've stayed in dozens of hotels across this city. Pauley Hall is the one I keep coming back to. It doesn't try to be anything other than what it is — and that's the point."
J. Whitfield
"Perfect for our family visit. The rooms are comfortable, the location is unbeatable for accessing the college, and the staff was genuinely kind."
