Movies locations – The Tap Room

The Tap Room in the Langham Hotel, Pasadena, is a stylish and inviting space and it was one of the locations of Saving Mr. Banks.

The original hotel bar opened in the 1930s after Prohibition ended.

In this place Mrs Travers orders a tea to the bartender before returning to her room.
