Sweet Suite :: The Ivy Hotel's Star Suite Sports a Stripper Pole
July 9, 2008 at 11:05 AM | 3 Comments
Bloomberg's Jason Harper went inside the fairly-new Ivy Hotel in San Diego -- which touts itself as an "adult playground" -- and found chains, stripper poles and, surprisingly, good service.
Though he didn't stay in the Star Suite (a reality show was filming there at the time; we hope it was something as awesome as I Love New York), he mentioned the swank space is known for its "adult" features: two king-size bunk beds decorated with chains, a six-person shower and, yes, an elevated stripper pole.

2007 Festival Hotels: Shirts Off Breakfast at Hotel Glória

Carnival (Feb 17 - 20) is in full swing, and according to The Guardian, plenty of American soldiers on leave are turning the sensual Brazilian celebration into a sexual conquest game.
Companies like Tours Gone Wild make a mint packing soldiers and other tourists into Rio de Janeiro hotels this time of year, and it takes a toll on the hotels.
One such Carnival party hotel is Hotel Gloria. On the Saturday of Carnaval the Gloria hosts an insane costume contest early in the evening, which is considered one of the best Carnaval parties by many long time attendees.
Heaven for doughboys, no doubt, however, guests of the hotel see the post party fallout year round:
Our room was a huge disappointment. Paint off the walls, tv entertainment system not working.
Lots of loud Brazilian guests with getto blasters at the pool. Staff did nothing. People with bare upper bodies at breakfast.
Where we are from, we call these places topless donutshops, in Brazil sounds like they call 'em "luxury hotels".
We are sure Hotel Gloria cleans up nice at some point after Carnaval. After all, they have a helipad on the roof, and guests who check-in via helicopter tend to like a clean room.

Ibiza Party Hotel Goes 'Til 6 In Tha Morning
September 21, 2006 at 11:45 AM | 0 Comments
If you are going to Ibiza, then let's face the facts, you are probably looking for a party hotel.
Figueretas is one of the quieter spots on the island, about a mile from Ibiza town, however Figueretas Es Vive Hotel and the all out pool parties they throw are not for those seeking relaxation.
This is the kind of place you stay when you want to pre-party, go clubbing with gaggles of hotel mates, then post party back at the hotel.
By day the Es Vive pool is packed with bikini clad all night revelers in recovery mode and by about 3am the hotel party begins to take hold. A Smirnoff bar and an onsite DJ help the club kids along.
Don't book one of the 55 Ikea clad rooms expecting rest and relaxation, and it goes without saying you best be looking elsewhere if you are on a family holiday. If you really want to impress your fellow clubbers, book one of the two corner suites--huge showers, multiple balconies, and an ocean view.
If you book during the off season (January - February) the staff will give you a 10% discount.
