Which means we have to plan a doggy-friendly trip to San Diego immediately. Not only does the Hotel Indigo San Diego have a mascot/puppy ambassador—that’s Sandie greeting guests in the photo—but the property also has a regular Canine Cocktails evening, on Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

<![CDATA[ We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/petcoparksuite.jpg" class="top">When we hit up the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/7/20/161022/640/hotels/Inside_The_Hotel_Indigo_San_Diego_Home_of_The_Prettiest_Business_Center">Hotel Indigo San Diego</a> last month, there was a party being held on the hotel's 9th floor

The Lobby The Hotel Indigo has a great lobby. It's actually quite pretty, for lack of a better descriptive design adjective. Everything was simply calm and eye-pleasing. No loud music. No too-strange art pieces and no mood-lighting changing every five seconds. Since Hotel Indigo as a brand incorporates as much of the local culture as possible into the identity of the hotel, the lobby actually feels like someone's very upscale beach house

And lest you think this is just another pretty sculpture, there's actually some serious mathematics behind it. From the hotel: <blockquote>The underpinning of the Hotel Indigo brands design and décor can be attributed to the Fibonacci sequence and the ratio
