The San Diego Ivy Hotel is the leading urban resort destination in the Gaslamp Quarter. After a year of triple-threat excellence in hospitality, nightlife, and dining the Ivy is introducing a new trifecta, just in time for 2008 Del Mar Racetrack season.
From the perfect weather to the pristine beaches and arrayed attractions, San Diego is the ideal destination for summer vacations in Southern California. Every year, the tourism flow picks up in July in honor of the signature meeting of turf and surf at the Del Mar Racetrack. And with this steady flow of visitors, Del Mar hotels and beach resorts fill up quicker than the Turf Club bar on Four O'Clock Fridays. To soak up the best of Del Mar and avoid the lines and traffic at hotels in Del Mar, make the right San Diego Insider bet and opt for the Ivy Hotel in Downtown San Diego.
This summer, the Ivy is offering a Summer Trifecta getaway that includes a one-night stay in a posh suite with a welcome glass of champagne, admission for two to the Ivy Hotel's Envy Nightclub, and passes for two to the exclusive Turf Club at the Del Mar Racetrack. In addition to this already winning trifecta, the Ivy provides guests with luxury transportation to and from the racetrack in Del Mar, stylish Haviana flip-flops for two, and stylish binoculars to better see your lucky ponies.
The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, where the turf meets the surf, is highly regarded nationwide as one of the finest racetracks. The 2008 Del Mar Racetrack season will offer a full schedule of free Four O'Clock Friday concerts, events and promotions, attracting celebrities, locals, and visitors from around the world. Nothing better suits a winning day at the tracks better than a luxurious evening at the Ivy Hotel - offering the most lavish accommodations at Quarter Kitchen, Envy Nightclub, and Eden Rooftop. And, for the ultimate experience, follow your Saturday evening at the tracks with the all-new Eden Sunday Pool Parties.
The 2008 Del Mar Racetrack season begins with Opening Day festivities on July 16 and runs until September 3. The racetracks are open daily, with the exception of Tuesdays, with post time for the first race at 2pm every day but Fridays, with the first post at 4pm.
