San Diego Hot Spots

I currently reside in the lovely city of San Diego, California and if I do say so myself, it is definitely a fab place for travel - if you do it right.

San Diego has plenty of gorgeous places to lounge if you want a posh night out, and the beach never goes out of style. If you're a fabtraveler and you're going to be breezing through San Diego at some point, you don't want to miss these luxury travel recommendations.

The Ivy Hotel / Envy
Celebs like Meryl Streep, Terrence Howard, John Mayer and Jessica Biel have all graced the tastefully decorated halls with their presence and so can you. The Ivy Hotel is a top notch hotel, and boasts a classy (read: expensive) restaurant called The Quarter Kitchen as well as a sizzling nightclub, aptly named Envy. The place reeks of luxury. Pictured is the Star Suite, a 1275 sq. foot room with, yes, king-size bunk beds, a "performance" pole and a shower that turns opaque when touched (??). I call top bunk!

Moonstone LoungeAnd here I was thinking that the Hard Rock Hotel had passed its prime. The Moonstone lounge, located on the refreshing rooftops of San Diego's Hard Rock Hotel in the famed Gaslamp quarter, is a fabulous place for fabulous lounging. Private poolside cabanas feature lounge seating, flat screen TV's and mini bars all for your personal indulgence.



Stingaree
Stingaree, one of the hottest nightclubs in San Diego takes a fab night out straight to the top - literally. The Oasis at Stingaree is a rooftop lounge for those who need a break "when the action gets too hot inside". Grab a seat next to the cozy fire pit or lounge on one of the Oasis beds. For those who consider themselves true VIPs, eight cabanas are available for reservation.


30 TWO Bar & Lounge
This luxury hang out elevates itself from the rest of the crowd with two words: members only. 30-TWO Bar and Lounge members gain all kinds of VIP access to the place including: a private backdoor entrance, high tech entertainment systems, town car service, personal concierge assistance and special access to entertainment events. In addition to personal nightlife entertainment, 30-TWO Bar and Lounge opens its sleek corridors for corporate trainings, art and music exhibits and openings, and television and movie filming and screenings.

Party Monsters Cabo is Full of Monsters

The idea: Nine ambitious party planners head to the LG Villa in Cabo to see who can throw the ultimate party for Hollywood's hottest A-listers—and only one will return a winner

The problem: It's a reality TV show.

The other problem: They're planning for "hollywood A-listers" so there's a lot of whining and ridiculous requests and apparently the contestants don't know what they're doing. Sounds like another weekly hour of people acting like over the top idiots on camera. Plus, it's a reality TV show.

The other other problem: It's a reality TV show.

But I guess if I got to stay at a luxury Cabo hotel I would toootally do it too. Even if I only had 24 hours to throw a party for Diddy. DIDDY his name is DIDDY come ON people!

Jo-Bro Heats Up in Cabo

Cabo seems to be on the radar an awful lot lately. As evidenced by Heidi and Spencer from The Hills, it's a hot spot for destination weddings in Cabo as well as a Cabo hotel vacation.

Well here's the latest - Jo Bro Joe Jonas was spotted vacationing in Cabo with his new girlfriend! Noooooo already? I thought we were still celebrating sympathizing the breakup with Taylor Swift. Here's the paparazzi-tastic pic:


Scandalous. So who is this girl? It's 10,000 BC star Camilla Belle, with whom Joe has denied being involved. Well we caught you Joe. You want us to believe you brought this girl all the way to Cabo as a demonstration of your friendship? I think not.
