Aug 13, 2015 | Contributor: Vicki Arkoff There’s nothing funny about the Sunset Strip nightspot, Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails, or Executive Chef Chris Crary’s elevated new menu.

Aug 3, 2015 | Contributor: Beck Bamberger It's difficult to imagine a warm oasis with a lush outcropping of palm trees, cascading pools, and bountiful blooming flora, without thinking of Southern California. If you’re from here or familiar with the region, it’s easy to picture Palm Springs as that desert retreat. Palm Springs spans 45 verdant acres and its diamond hotel is La Quinta Resort & Club. ...

Jun 30, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle Monico When friends and family visit San Diego, they usually ask me about the best hotels in the area. And after having lived here for over five years now, I definitely have my favorites. Recently, I spent a weekend at La Valencia (aka The Pink Lady) in La Jolla for a mini-staycation to see what it had to offer. At the end of the trip, it was added to my list of SD hotel suggestions for many reasons, including its location, suites and dining options. ... Read More |
Jun 12, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle Monico One thing we’ve been saying for awhile now, is that San Diego needs a Ritz-Carlton. Our beautiful city is a prime location for the luxury brand. Well, this week, we came across Cisterra Developments’ current project list which includes a new Ritz at 7th and Market downtown. ... Read More |
Jun 4, 2015 | Contributor: Vicki Arkoff Meet-and-greets are great, but eat-and-greets are much tastier. Fans of great chefs and great food won’t want to miss the Santa Monica Grand Tasting event at the Santa Monica Pier on June 13-14. During the weekend, foodies can mingle with 25 of Los Angeles’ best chefs, watch them in action, and eat to their hearts content. ... Read More |

Apr 6, 2015 | Contributor: Beck Bamberger If LA had a secret garden, it would undoubtedly be the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood. A discreet awning and a wall of cascading ivy and fauna are the only indications of this oasis found tucked away in the cul-de-sac of a nondescript residential neighborhood. I recently re-read The Secret Garden, the childhood classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett, after a recent stay at the Sunset Marquis. ... Read More |

Mar 5, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle Monico In December 2013, Kona Kai Resort & Marina completed the first phase of its $22 million makeover. While the first cycle of improvements definitely enhanced the over 60-year-old property, it still had a ways to go before regaining its former elite status. With the help of Noble House Hotels & Resorts (who bought the property back in 2013), the second round of renovations have now been completed. ... Read More |
Feb 24, 2015 | Contributor: Beck Bamberger I am convinced that there are two ways to feel famous; either simply by being the aforementioned type or by hanging out in Beverly Hills with said persons in the epicenter of the Hollywood elite. As it is award season in tinsel town, I thought the timing was ideal for a frolic among the sequin dripping and Oscar-carrying crowd at The Beverly Hilton. ... Read More |
Jan 27, 2015 | Contributor: Courtney Driver As the most south-westerly city in the United States, Imperial Beach is the one of the last stops in San Diego before hitting the San Ysidro Border going into Mexico. Not well known as a tourist spot, the area is mostly residential and fairly sleepy; a typical California beach town. And while the oceanfront does have a bit of a main “drag,” with beach bars and the new Pier South Resort, IB is really about the more natural elements: the quiet, sand, waves and nearby nature reserves. ...
