The Coolest Hotel in San Diego: The Pendry Hotel It had been years since I’d spent time in San Diego, though it’s only a two-hour drive from L.A. Wanting to visit our family who live in the area, we used this as our chance to stay at the newly opened Pendry Hotel, bringing a refined, yet …
Downtown Los Angeles When I first discovered the Tuck Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, my first thought was that it is much needed. This neighborhood is not exactly known for Stylish Stays.
