it seems like the new trend is offering deals that include hotel pools. I mean I am not complaining, i think this is the greatest thing ever. Especially for hotels and places in LA. My summer days are filled with laying poolside. Anyone hear about Spa Luce? I just read somewhere that if you get a spa treatment there you can hang out at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel pool for the rest of the day! I already signed up for the mailing list at spaluce.com so I can get discounts and perks so I am totally prepared for enjoying my summer days. My count down has begun. 4 more months!
