We hung out in the sunny patio of the Shorebreak Hotel's Zimzala Restaurant & Bar on the search for something sweet to drink. When we spotted the Red Velvet Cupcake cocktail, we knew that would sate our sweet tooth.
We expected a sugary-sweet libation with maybe some frosting on the rim of the glass. You know, like a yummy red velvet cupcake. However, we got a fruity $12 concoction that still hit the spot. ]]>
Pacific Edge Hotel
Break out your best Lauren Alaina voice and you could win something big at several Joie de Vivre hotels. Okay, so you won't be crowned the next American Idol and have the satisfaction of beating shoulda-been-eliminated-long-ago Scotty McCreery in the battle of the teenage country crooners, but you can score an upgrade at four JDV hotels.
The Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach, Pacific Edge Hotel on Laguna Beach, Hotel Erwin in Venice Beach and Hotel Angeleno in Los Angeles will each give away one upgrade per day by providing brave guests the opportunity to sing at check-in (hasn't hotel staff been abused enough with instances like DSK at the Sofietl New York?).]]>
If you're starting to do some Southern California dreaming as the chilly weather settles in, JDV Hotels is offering a deal that could get you up to 40 percent off of a stay at one of its properties.
The Southern California Dreamin' Passport gives you incremental savings for each reservation you make at one of the SoCal brand's hotels—Brentwood's Hotel Angeleno, Venice Beach's Hotel Erwin, L.A.'s Custom Hotel, Huntington Beach's Shorebreak Hotel and Laguna Beach's Pacific Edge Hotel. ]]>
