Hotels
There is no "official" hotel for the wedding, but we do encourage guests to consider The Athenaeum (Caltech's faculty club) for two main reasons:
- It has several lounges which provide a natural place for informal gatherings. We hope this will provide our respective families an additional chance to meet and interact apart from the wedding.
- It is located on the the campus (walking distance to the wedding) in a beautiful setting with top-class service, architecture, and ambiance.
