Travelers in search of sexy, stylish companions are invited to spend the night with their favorite women – or men – at the Porto Vista Hotel & Suites (Porto Vista) in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood.  The hotel is also offering a chance to win a complimentary weekend getaway to guests who become fan’s of the hotel on Facebook.

To mark the first phase of completion of 145 newly redesigned guestrooms, the Porto Vista is inviting guests to choose “who they want to sleep with” during their stay.  Upon arrival, guests can review a selection of black and white floor-to-ceiling photo murals celebrating the leisure lifestyles of Italy in the 60s including works by noted lifestyle photographer John Trice. Then, they can choose their favorite photo and settle in for a night of voyeuristic pleasure or enjoy the hotel’s exciting dining, nightlife and amenities.  Rates for this special promotion start at $79 and are valid through Dec. 30, 2009 when you call the hotel direct at 1-800-537-9902.

Porto Vista is celebrating the debut of the murals by giving away 10 complimentary weekend getaways. Guests are invited to preview and vote on potential “companions” on Porto Vista’s Facebook fan page. Visitors who select the “like” button for one or all of the photos will be entered for a chance to win a complimentary weekend getaway featuring a two-night stay, valet parking and dinner for two in the hotel’s acclaimed Glass Door restaurant.

“We are getting very excited for the full reveal of the new Porto Vista and the murals are just the tip of Porto Vista’s style and celebration of local artists and culture,” said Greg Keebler, general manager of the Porto Vista Hotel & Suites. “The models and the photographer are locals. The mural imagery is very unique, sexy and exciting. The Facebook contest showcases the art and our new ambiance and attitude with a lucky few with our compliments.”

The completion of the guestrooms marks the end of the first phase of the re-imaging of Porto Vista.  Expected to be complete in December 2009, the property enhancements include:

• 145 guestrooms and suites with the unique murals, traditional furnishings mixed with a contemporary décor, modern comforts such as complimentary high-speed wireless Internet to keep guests connected;
• Now open, the new Evolve Salon featuring a full range of professional salon services and beauty products;
• The soon-to-open Porto Vespa boutique offering Vespa scooters available for sale as well as a selection of clothing, helmets and accessories;
• A transformed Ripassi rooftop deck for meetings and special events where unopposed views of the San Diego harbor and skyline lend a stunning backdrop for a memorable event;
• Newly redesigned boardrooms and a banquet room, featuring a contemporary design and views of Little Italy and the San Diego Harbor through floor-to-ceiling windows and a connecting outdoor patio.
