10/3 Going to be in SF on business. Any recommendations for hotels? So far
I am leaning towards the Omni or the Mandarin Oriental. Four
Seasons and Ritz are out (cost). Anyone have experience with those
two or know one better in the same price range (<=$300/night)? --dim
\_ Mark Hopkins and Nikko are both nice. Park Hyatt is good if you
want to be in the financial district, but otherwise boring.
\_ Any experience with those I mentioned? I was considering
Park Hyatt, since it costs a lot less but it also seems less
nice.
\_ My parents really like it. Their bathroom on the 2nd floor
has the best toilet paper I've ever used. For a five star
hotel, it seems very basic and no frills, without the pure
brand name of the other hotels mentioned above. I've never
been to NYC, but it has that feeling (e.g. guys with weird
hats who open doors for you)
\_ W if you like really dark hallways with dim blue lighting and you
like everyone dressed in black. The rooms are cozy though.
\_ "W" was an option, but I think is out because of the
location and some negative reviews I read on tripadvisor.
\_ Shame you can't spring for Four Seasons or the Ritz, but if you
happen to find the extra budget, go for Four Seasons. Great
hotel. The views from the MO are great, but I thought my room
was small, and it wasn't nearly as posh as the MO's in the Orient.
My cousin swears by the Huntington, and he's something of an
expert on luxury hotels (he spends ~100 nights a year in hotels).
I've never visited, so I can't speak from 1st person experience

\_ OBTW, I've been told the regular rooms at the Ritz Carlton
feel old. I can attest that the club rooms (IMHO the only
reason to stay at RC properties anyway) are very nice. -tse
