Item Description

You and your guest can spend 1 night at Caltech Athenaeum's Einstein Suite - a rare treat not open to the public!

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was a visiting scientist at Caltech in Pasadena on several occasions. Albert Einstein is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the modern era. As a preeminent physicist, he radically transformed our understanding of the universe. As an ardent humanist, he took an active and outspoken stance on the significant political and social issues of his time. Einstein played a crucial role in establishing the two pillars of 20th century physics: he was the father of the theory of relativity and a major contributor to quantum theory.

"Here in Pasadena it is like Paradise. Always sunshine and clear air, gardens with palms and pepper trees and friendly people who smile at one and ask for autographs." - Albert Einstein

The wood paneled living room of the Einstein Suite provides a rich ambiance while opening out to a suite-wide patio that overlooks Caltech's famed Olive Walk. The suite-wide patio of the Einstein Suite offers a wonderful venue for al fresco dining through our restaurant.
