Local News in Brief : Hotel to Remain Open

The Huntington Hotel in Pasadena will remain open during the demolition and reconstruction of its main building and will be operated by R & R Hospitality Group until 1990, the new owners have announced.

R & R will manage the hotel under its new name, Huntington Hotel and Cottages, until 1990, when construction of the new building is expected to be complete. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. will rename the hotel The Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel and will take over the management at that time.

Ownership of the hotel was transferred from Keikyu U.S.A. Inc. to the Huntington Hotel Associates when escrow on the property closed earlier this week.
