Rating: Two stars
Noteworthy: Developer Edward Kaen turned a historic building into an upscale hotel designed by Pininfarina.
The stay: High style transports you out of San Diego and into Italy.
The scene: Fashion types, well-heeled adventurers and night clubbers mostly keep to themselves in large rooms.
Deal maker: Visually spectacular if you love minimalism, Italy or cars.
Deal breaker: Street noise and no pool, restaurant or room service.
