Thursday Night at the Ivy Andaz Hotel

Posted in Events

So as some of you may have heard, Ivy was recently acquired by Hyatt hotels and evolved into the luxury brand of Hyatt Hotel corp, “Andaz.”

What does that mean?

Well, not much to be honest. The names of the entertainment venues will stay the same (Ivy Nightclub, Ivy Ultra lounge, Ivy Rooftop). But you *will* experience a bit of a benefit – now the hotel will have access to the international reservation system online, so it will make it easier for you to book a room, for instance.

Out of all the venues I’ve seen in San Diego, I really have to say this is my favorite. It has some of the best views of the city and a huge rooftop that you can enjoy a cocktail & conversation without having to shout to hear the other person. I shoot this venue pretty regularly, and the colors always come out so awesome. Hard to not get a great photo from this place.
