Was not able to get spa treatments after reserving 2 weeks out. However, they made up for it, with the upgrade to one of the pen house suite , which was very large and excellent. I would stay here again.

Live like a Lord in your own Manor House

Did you ever want to stay in a gilded age mansion, and believe it was your own? Well, The IVY is just the place for you! Wonderful architecture and the ambiance is superb. Come and enjoy the champagne upon arrival in the fire place room, filled with exquisite plants and a touch of African culture..then waltz down the hall way to a gorgeous little room with enormous paintings and a libation station everyone will enjoy. There is wine, bourbon, gin, and fix your own is the order of the day...then you can relax and have tea in the large and sophisticated living room complete with murals of a cosmopolitan nature...then grab an exquisite art book, in the library area, hit the couch and enjoy your drink. You can have a great game of pool in the drawing room and don't forget to enjoy the wonderful art work and gorgeous antiques along with special treasures displayed perfectly. Each resident room is a treasure, from curtains to bedding, to soothing baths and complementary wine and cheese, you will feel like a Lord of you own manor. If you feel like hitting the town, no worries you've got your own driver. Magdalena, the restaurant, is one of the best in the city. Finally, the staff is so accommodating that you begin to feel like family before your stay is over...as I was told, that is the goal to make The IVY your second home away from home. Just give it a try and I think you will agree with me that this is a definite place to visit again and again in your travels.

Simply put this was the best experience I’ve ever had staying in a hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make my daughter and I comfortable. They even left toys, set up a pack-n-play and a changing pad left a toddler sippy cup shaped like a wine glass for her. An impressive staff and beautiful building. We will definitely be back.

Totally idyllic two day stay at the Ivy to celebrate a birthday. Talked long time friends into joining us from five hours away and we all could not have been more pleased. Rooms were impeccably clean with unique decor and personal touches. Amenities were complimentary and plentiful. Staff was gracious and kind. So much to discover in the surrounding historic district- walks, art museums, etc but did not want to leave the comfortable surroundings and ambiance of the hotel. Like a small luxury cruise ship, not on water. Lovely!
