Looking at the sheer length of the line to get into Envy, located in San Diego’s trendy Gaslamp district, can make it easy to forget that this hot nightspot is part of an outstanding hotel—The Ivy. If you can make it through the throng and into the mahogany-floored lobby, you’ll quickly realize you’ve found a haven in the midst of the southern California bustle. The Ivy offers a unique alternative to the standard boutique hotel spa—an in-room spa service. Your own personal butler will deliver a range of aromatherapy treatment options and then draw your bath for you in the opulent glass and steel bathing compartment that is the centerpiece of each guest room and suite. If you’d like, he or she can also fetch you a treat from the Ivy’s award-winning restaurant, although we suggest you experience in person the Kobe steak, incomparable wine selection and delectable deserts such as Bananas Foster at Chef Damon Gordon’s award-winning Quarter Kitchen restaurant. Another winning amenity is Eden, the rooftop pool/bar/lounge, where you can sample a drink from the largest cocktail menu we’ve ever seen as you recline on a chaise longue and enjoy the spectacular San Diego skyline.
