We just returned from a one-night stay at The Ivy for our wedding anniversary, and while we had heard wonderful things going in and had high expectations, our stay exceeded every single one of them.

Yes, it is not inexpensive to stay here, but the service and attention to detail make it worth every penny. The hotel itself is stunning — beautifully restored in a way that fully honors its history. But what truly sets The Ivy apart is the service. Just read the reviews! From the very first moment, everything felt personalized: greeted by name at check-in, offered champagne or sparkling tea, given a full tour of the hotel, and arriving in our room to find a handwritten note with wine and cheese. Afternoon tea was delicious, the serve-yourself bar was an awesome addition, and breakfast delivered to our room the next morning was outstanding and all included in the stay.

The entire staff is wonderful! One of the most memorable moments came from our time with the concierge, Calvin. His warmth, authenticity, and simple gestures of kindness reminded us of the power of genuine care.

We left with full hearts, a beautiful memory of our anniversary, and a new tradition — every year at The Ivy!

The hotel common area itself is a treasure of beautiful woodwork and hand-painted tiles and mosaics and interior design that is clever and exciting to enjoy. The tour upon our arrival and greeting from Teresa was memorable and concierges Sydney and Calvin were perfect, not only helping us navigate and create our itinerary, but were also great conversationalists. Everyone we met was incredibly helpful and bent over backwards to help with any need we had. It was an amazing experience!

Our daughter was married at this hotel this past weekend and the whole thing couldn't have gone more smoothly. From the venue itself, the staff, the food, everything was set up to make this as easy for us as possible.

We arrived at noon, knowing we were way early for checkin, and the valet just took our name, unloaded our car, and welcomed us, and put us into the elevator. When it opened, staff was waiting to give us a tour of the facility and deliver us to the concierge, who seamlessly checked us in to our room, which was ready hours early. Our luggage was waiting for us in our room. Which was amazing; we had suite 9, which overlooked the courtyard from a wall of windows and was roomy and quiet, but my dad, son, and niece all had rooms which were smaller but equally beautiful. The bridal couple had suite 18, which was just incredible, a huge living room and powder room with a lofted bedroom and full bath. Other guests also rave about their rooms and suites. One couple came with their toddler and newborn, and the hotel even provided — unasked — a bathtub for the baby and appropriate size robes for the kids.

We were there for four nights, and consistently when we left our room for breakfast or tea or dinner, staff notified one another so that when we got back, any necessary housekeeping had been taken care of while we were out. It was amazing.

The event planning staff was equally amazing. We felt as if we'd hired a wedding planner who was operating silently and efficiently in the background.

The food, which was catered in-house by Magdalena, was excellent.

We can't recommend it more highly. For a microwedding, with maybe 30 guests who all want to stay on property, this couldn't be a better choice.
