The Hotel Boom in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter
The hottest ticket in California right now is San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, where new hotels are opening a mile a minute. The long-awaited Ivy Hotel, about which we first reported last December, is finally ready to make its debut in August. Guests can expect 24-hour butler service, a fitness center, rooftop pool, and Cadillac Escalade courtesy cars. Fun, whimsical dishes will be the mainstay at The Quarter Kitchen, the hotel’s on-site restaurant. Think caviar tacos and lobster pot pie. Hot on the heels of this sexy hotel’s opening, the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is scheduled to open in the fall. Book one of the rock star suites– rumor has it that the Black Eyed Peas even designed one– and enjoy LCD televisions, CD/DVD with iPod connections, and a martini bar.
It’s no wonder this historic hood is attracting the eye of hoteliers. Experiencing a renaissance of sorts, the place is packed with boutiques, bistros, beautiful galleries, excellent restaurants, and happening nightlife spots. And of course as we sing the area’s praises, we can’t forget the signature old-fashioned gaslamps lining the sidewalks of the West’s trendiest neighborhood.
