A Night in the Lap of Luxury
The Ivy Hotel is hands down one of the most incredible hotel experiences I have had. The staff is attentive and kind. The hotel is gorgeous and designed with a lovely modern sensibility. The staff goes out of their way to make your stay luxurious, right down to providing every room with a butler and making arrangements ahead of time to your liking to make your stay extra special. Does your husband need a larger bathrobe or slippers? No problem, they will take care of it. Would you like champagne arrival? They will have that waiting for you no charge. Would you like you dress pressed for your evening out? Again, they will do it for you no charge. The rooms are beautiful, with plush bedding, a gorgeous bathtub that comes with all the soaks and bath gels you could want, and an ipod dock so you can supply your own soundtrack to your evening.
Unique Quality: The Ivy has a great restaurant and nightlife scene. What is so unique about this hotel is that you can check in, stay there for days and not need to leave to have a great vacation. The restaurant, the Quarter Kitchen, is as delicious as it is hip and elegant. The skytop bar is a great scene, both for mingling and dancing, often complete with dancers that swallow fire! The dance club below is straight from Hollywood, with several dance floors and different types of music.
One thing to be wary of is the noise level. If you are looking to relax at night, the hotel may be a little loud for you at night during the weekend as the night scene really heats up and attracts a large crowd. Make sure to ask the front desk to provide you a guest room on the quiter floors.
