MOVIE STARS? They're most definitely people, without quibble, and you could probably name a dozen notable names, right now, without pausing. But sometimes some of the glitteriest celebrities in our midst aren't actually human; they're places, destinations, attractions, and the stellar sights that stand out. Take the The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, a hotel that has occupied a verdant location on also-verdant Oak Knoll Avenue for well over a century. For much of that century, The Langham has starred on the silver screen, with grand roles in "Saving Mr. Banks," "Charlie Wilson's War," and a recent term in the HBO hit "Hacks." Now this luminary has a luminous new addition, one that befits its Hollywood-cool status: A pretty, just-unveiled pool, complete with cabanas for movie stars and those of us who'd like to play movie star for a day.

THE ROYCE POOL: The splashy new star is located on the northerly part of the spacious property, and just a short stroll from the Lanai Pool, The Langham's original swimming pool. As for the up-and-comer's offerings? The Royce Pool boasts dozens of umbrellas, loungers, palm trees, and a few cabanas outfitted with mini refrigerators, televisions, and other plush perks. It's a cool-down retreat made for those toasty Crown City temperatures, the kind that often push into the three digits come summertime. But the Royce Pool isn't made solely for guests; non-guests may enjoy the pool on weekdays and select weekend days and holidays via ResortPass.com.

HUNTINGTON LEGACY: Like The Royce Wood-Fired Steakhouse, the hotel's fine-dining choice, the new pool's name is an admiring ode to Stephen W. Royce, the "illustrious and longtime owner and general manager of The Huntington Hotel," a former name for the storied structure.
