The Ivy Hotel, San Diego: The World’s Hottest Hotels
We’ve been oohing and ahhing over the posh urban resort that is San Diego’s Ivy Hotel, and it looks like we’re not the only ones to be swooning. The Ivy was just included in Conde Nast Traveler’s 12th annual “Hot List” of the World’s Top New 136 Hotels. Here’s the word:
…substance also accompanies the sexy style. Each of the 159 rooms is assigned an amiable and efficient butler who will run a bubble bath or fetch more champagne. The rooftop sundeck (where after-dark movies are screened) is strewn with daybeds, private cabanas and wicker “pods” for two. At Quarter Kitchen, chef Damon Gordon’s offbeat repertoire includes truffled leek empanadas and caviar tacos. The Ivy’s nightlife scene remains a hot ticket in the Gaslamp Quarter, with the crowd gathering to watch the city lights (and one another) at the rooftop Eden Bar, before descending into the depths of Envy for techno and bottle service rendered by servers in pleather minidresses…
