Last week I had the opportunity to stay two nights at the St. Regis San Francisco courtesy of SPG American Express and the SPG Amex Stars blogger program for 2012. San Francisco was my staycation destination.
As part of the SPG Amex Stars staycation opportunity at the St. Regis San Francisco, I have also been authorized to run a Loyalty Traveler 25,000 Starpoints sweepstakes courtesy of SPG American Express. The winning reader will receive 25,000 Starpoints to redeem for a stay at a Starwood hotel or miles or whatever you choose to do with 25,000 Starpoints.
While my stay specifically was at the St. Regis San Francisco, this post will share views of the city  with photos I have taken over the past few years from rooms in each of the seven Starwood Hotels in San Francisco.
View down Third Street to AT T Ball Park on the waterfront, home of the San Francisco Giants MLB team. Moscone Convention Center and Yerba Buena Park are right foreground, San Francisco discount disney world magic kingdom tickets MOMA Museum of Modern Art is left foreground with W San Francisco the tall white building at left.
The Pied Piper of Hamlin is a 1909 Maxfield Parrish painting in the Pied Piper Bar of the Palace Hotel . Most rooms at The Palace Hotel do not have much of a scenic vista view of the city outside discount disney world magic kingdom tickets with the historic 9-story hotel dwarfed by newer skyscrapers all around.
Union Square view at night during the holiday season. Westin St. Francis is another historic hotel originally opened in 1904 and restored in 1907 after the great quake with the 12 story old building and the 32 story Pacific Tower.
Most rooms in the four story Sheraton do not have much of a view. Iconic Coit Tower can be seen from a few locations around the hotel. This is the only Starwood Hotel in San Francisco with an outdoor pool. W Hotel, St. Regis and The Palace have indoor pools.
The real advantage of this tourist location at Fisherman's Wharf is the room rates are typically lower on weekdays November to May than all other San Francisco Starwood Hotels. The hotel is one block away from the waterfront, yet the proximity of the hotel to the Alcatraz Island Prison cruise discount disney world magic kingdom tickets and tours from the Fisherman's Wharf area is another feature of this hotel.
I would choose my staycation at the W Hotel San Francisco. I too love night swimming and my gf and I would love to take a night in class from our shared studio apartment! Plus we love starwood properties.
I would stay at St Regis Aspen still disappointed you bloggers continue to take freebies, no matter discount disney world magic kingdom tickets what you say it has to skew your objectivity, no true journalist would take a freebie. I think The Points Guy survives on freebies
I d staycation at the ALOFT in a suburb outside of Nashville called Franklin/Cool Springs. Franklin was voted one of the top 5 small towns in America! A beautiful, yet trendy, downtown/main discount disney world magic kingdom tickets street area.
San Francisco stole my heart as an 8 year old i miss living in the bay area so much! I would love to try a stay at The Palace! I have stayed at the St.Regis and Le Meridien is my favorite discount disney world magic kingdom tickets to return to always feel welcome there. With so many great places, Starwood makes it hard to choose a regular home away from home.
I would take a Staycation at the Aloft Washington National Harbor. It would be my first time at that hotel, and the National Harbor has a beautiful discount disney world magic kingdom tickets waterfront, great restaurants and a fab little dueling piano bar. I would love to treat my girlfriends to a girls weekend discount disney world magic kingdom tickets out
Between the Pied Piper painting and the glass dome (would discount disney world magic kingdom tickets be a nice place for a dance!), I think the Palace looks good. Though the St. Regis Kauai would be nice also. Thanks for the tour of San Francisco s SPG properties.
We have a trip planned to Spain and will be spending 4 nights in Madrid. The Westin Palace Madrid is definitely on our list. 25,000 Starpoints would cover two nights there. I d only need one SPG Amex to cover the rest!
The St Regis San Francisco because my wife and I have never been to San Francisco, we ve never stayed discount disney world magic kingdom tickets anywhere as luxurious as the St Regis, and we have our first 10 SPG points ever. (We re brand new point junkies.) I stole your picture above and made it my desktop background for inspiration. Happy holidays, all!
