The Bar/Lounge at The Ivy Hotel

"Most have plush four-poster beds draped with modern printed fabrics, gas fireplaces, and “bar-moires” designed by local artists; they’re like luxe country cabins in the middle of the city"

"The hotel’s very inclusive amenity policy means in-room perks, like the generously stocked minibar filled with local brews and sweet treats by Californian confectioner TCHO, are included as part of your stay"

"But with deep sunken tubs, soft cashmere throws on canopied beds, and extras like free movies and free minibar booze, can we blame you for never wanting to leave your room? When you do, Magdalena Restaurant provides five different spaces to chose dine in on creative bistro fare – the Garden Room looking out onto a walled courtyard, the cozy Treasury, the Wine Cellar, the Tasting Room, and a clubby bar"

"The Ivy kitchen hosts private meals in the period dining room; when the weather is pleasant, the Terrace has lounge chairs and tables for dining alfresco"

"After settling into your turreted digs, peruse the spa menu and wander down to the lounge’s honesty bar for apéritifs before dinner at internationally-influenced bistro Magdalena"
