One of the great elements of traveling is that staying in a hotel equals concierge service, lounging by the pool, and a convenient fitness center a few steps from your room.

What's lacking in this scenario, however, is that seventh pair of shoes that you couldn't bring yourself to pack, your cat, and that tiramisu you left home in the freezer. San Diego development power house, Oliver McMillan, believes you can welcome luxury into your everyday lifestyle, and encourages you to have your dessert and eat it too, at the pristine downtown property Aloft on Cortez Hill.

The San Diego real estate and development company that offers great East Village rental properties now brings their special take on luxury loft living to Cortez Hill condos, combining hotel-quality amenities with the best parts of being at home.

Condo units at Aloft are characterized by tall ceilings, large windows, and state-of-the-art appliances, and first-time homeowners will be happy to see the in-suite laundry. The chic experience doesn't begin and end with your personal pad, however. You'll want to consider the whole building an extension of your home. There's a gym where you can work out alongside your cute new neighbor, instead of waiting in line for the elliptical machine at the fitness center near your office. But better than the gym, why not take a dip in the pool or invite that neighbor to join you for a drink in a cabana near the fire pit?

With all of these upscale property amenities, chances are your friends will bring the party to you. But on those nights when you want to venture out, it's just a short jaunt from your quiet Cortez Hill neighborhood to either the energetic clubs in Gaslamp or the urban bar vibes in the East Village. And while you'll party like you're on vacation, the best part will be coming home to those high thread-count sheets that you spent a fortune on, and your cat snuggled at the foot of your bed. You'll sleep soundly knowing that the best cure for the morning hangover will be the orange juice that's in your fridge and a refreshing dip in your condo pool.
