Cheeky chic: Hotel Diva in San Francisco.<\/p><\/div>\n

By Mark Chesnut<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for San Francisco hotels<\/a> for your next business trip or perhaps as inspiration for your next California vacation, the city by the bay never fails to impress.<\/p>\n

Business travelers wanting to stay close to San Francisco International Airport \u2014 which this year debuted its new, $383-million Terminal 2 \u2014 might want to check into the Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront, which has upgraded its event facilities with new lighting, color schemes and technology.<\/p>\n

San Francisco\u2019s stylish boutique hotels are incredibly diverse, with upscale amenities and business-friendly services for every taste and budget. Among the newest is the Orchard Garden Hotel<\/a>, which is quite likely San Francisco\u2019s greenest hotel. Rising near the Chinatown gate, this attractive, cleanly designed property has a 25-person boardroom and a scenic rooftop terrace that is ideal for small business events. Top-floor rooms are especially spacious, with private terraces that are perfect for relaxing.<\/p>\n

For a funkier, hip vibe, consider Hotel Diva<\/a>, which is renovating its stylishly witty d\u00e9cor and features meeting space as well as a small-but-cool business center with mod furnishings. Book a room on the Diva\u2019s Salon Floor, or its Design Within Reach suite, for the most amenities and space.<\/p>\n

Sir Francis Drake<\/a>, a Kimpton Hotel, just finished a renovation to all of its guestrooms and will soon undergo renovations of the lobby and its top floor Starlight Room lounge. Another Kimpton property, Palomar San Francisco<\/a>, has expanded its \u201cPeople in Motion\u201d wellness program and now allows guests to borrow bikes for free. The W San Francisco, meanwhile, is to open a new restaurant, Trace, this summer.
