One of the best luxury hotels in San Francisco, the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco opened its door in 1991. A former Metropolitan Insurance headquarter, the building was eventually acquired by the Ritz-Carlton Company and renovated.

The interior was completely revamped and the rooms upgraded. Enjoy the Dining Room restaurant’s delicacies, and don’t forget the Sunday brunch at the Terrace Restaurant. When you’re full, admire the view from the hotel’s location, Nob Hill.

1. Price is always important when looking for a convention, meeting or conference center. Before signing any contract, compare and shop for San Francisco convention center hotels prices and services. Use your dealing skills and try to get a price reduction on the quote, or some addition features and upgrades. Bear in mind that the venue wants your business just as much as you want theirs, and they may want to accommodate your price range or needs to get your business.

2. Location is a major point when choosing a convention center hotel in San Francisco. Do you need it to be close the SFO airport? Remember that the majority, if not all the attendees, will be flying to San Francisco. Make sure that shuttle services will make a stop at or near the hotel.

3. What type of convention or meeting room facilities does the hotel offer? Before booking a conference/convention room, it can be wise to ask who your meeting room neighbors will be. We have heard stories about meeting being held in a conference room, next to a room that was booked for a wedding or a private party. With the music rocking on the other side of the wall, needless to say that the attendees (and the meeting planner) where not happy campers and business professionals weren’t impressed!

Also ensure that you have a room big enough to accommodate everyone, including last-minute guests. To be successful, you need to be able to house everyone and have adequate meeting space. Nothing is worse to attend a meeting or convention and to be crammed with the other attendees in rooms that are too small.

Ask for the type of services offered meeting wise. Most San Francisco convention center hotels offer a meal and refreshment service, including waiters and other support staff on hand to bring the food and clean after and in between the breaks.

4. Guest amenities does the hotel offer?  You may want to look into : free high-speed wireless internet, a business center, big spacious and clean rooms, a gym and any other amenities you can thing of for your attendees. Guests are most likely to attend your next meetings/conferences/conventions if they were impressed the first time.

5. Look for nearby restaurants. Ask people, research online, do a small Google mapping of the nearby restaurants. Bear in mind that Wendy’s and McDonalds generally do not count as acceptable nearby restaurants. Try to contact the nearby restaurants to ask for discounts for you convention, meeting or conference attendees. Again, they want your business, therefore you may be able to bargain a deal with them.

6. If most the guests are visiting San Francisco for the first time, bear in mind that the attendees may want to bring their family or friends. Therefore, choose a location tourist friendly, with things to do and see, or at a walking distance from a main attraction.

The rooms are inspired by this historic period: you can choose between “Summer of Love”, “Sunshine”, or “Earth”. Or rent a funky suite like “Peacock”. Some guest rooms don’t have private bathrooms, in which case you’ll have to share the four bathrooms down the hall with other guests. The hotel definitely was a great hotel back in times, but has lost most of its charm since. The hotel rooms are dusty, run-down and obviously not too well maintained.  This hotel is a miss and hit and some people will find their experience quite interesting. But everyone agrees : the hotel needs to be refreshened up.

The St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco offers some of the most best relaxing hotel rooms in town. An excellent combination of great design and functionality makes this hotel a must-stay. In St. Regis, you will feel like you are living a life of decadence, from the faux shagreen to the leather covering the walls. The only small disappointment is the obvious aging of some of the furniture that would need some touch up to regain its vibe and shine. While the mattresses are good but not something to brag about, their Pratesi linens are wonderful and the bed are greatly made. However, if you decide to stay at the St. Regis, ask for a room that is not on Market St. side as it can become quite noisy during the day.

The hotel has a beautiful lobby and a very nice bar. If you are intending on working out during your stay, you will love the fitness area which is certainly better than many hotels. Not surprisingly, every single person at the hotel, (bell staff, spa staff, room service staff, cleaning staff), everyone will make you feel welcomed. St. Regis, a hotel you definitely ought to try (or return!)
