Ivy Hotel

Frommer's Review

The Maryland Hotel, a dowdy old property built in 1914, has been magically transformed into a world-class, high-style luxury destination called the Ivy Hotel. Its unbeatable Gaslamp Quarter address assures a steady stream of beautiful people making their way into Envy, the hotel's four-level nightclub. The Ivy also boasts downtown's largest rooftop pool and entertainment area, a 17,000-square-foot playground dubbed Eden; modern, regional cuisine is dished out at the street-level Quarter Kitchen. The $75-million renovation was overseen by a design team that has not only worked on various W Hotels, but also made a name for itself in Hollywood, art-directing projects for directors like Jim Jarmusch and Ridley Scott. The fashionable rooms feature 42-inch flat-screen TVs, glass-enclosed bathrooms, and high-tech workspaces; the signature suite is a split-level affair with a spiral staircase that leads to a private poolside cabana.
