Hyatt Hotels Corporation‘s Andaz brand will make its San Diego debut in the property currently known as Ivy Hotel. The 1914 hotel reopened in May 2007 following a transformation by Kelly Capital, with architecture by SB Architects and interior design by Powerstrip Studio.
"We are pleased to team up with Hyatt to bring Andaz to San Diego," says Michael Kelly, chairman and CEO of Kelly Capital, in a statement. "The momentum of this new and refreshing brand fits the hotel property and its reputation in the community. We are evolving to provide an even better experience for our guests and to increase the excitement around the hotel’s hot spots for nightlife, including Ivy Rooftop, Ivy Nightclub, and Ivy Ultra Lounge and Wine Bar, while having the backing of the deep culture and experienced management teams of Hyatt."
Although the hotel will convert to Andaz brand standards, no plans have been announced for upgrading the Ivy, which has 159 guestrooms and suites boasting custom fixtures and amenities, flatpanel TVs, and spacious glass-enclosed bathrooms. Additional amenities include the Quarter Kitchen restaurant and 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting and function space.
