Tubs With a View
Great Places to Stay: Mandarin Oriental
Book a Mandarin "King" room at this classy downtown luxury hotel and you'll have a unique opportunity to gaze at the San Francisco skyline while immersed in your own spacious marble bathtub. But soaks with a view are not the only reason to love the Mandarin Oriental, which occupies the top 11 floors of the city's third-tallest skyscraper and is affiliated with one of the most celebrated Pacific Rim hotel brands.
Sophisticated Asian-influenced decor, impeccable service, a convenient Financial District location and a first-rate restaurant combine to make this one of the city's most appealing high-end hotels. The 158 rooms and suites are not the biggest in town, but every room offers terrific views, along with top-shelf amenities and a tranquil, tasteful atmosphere.
Rates for bookings on the Mandarin Oriental website begin at $295 a night, but brace yourself for bigger price tags on higher-class rooms and during periods of high demand. Package deals include bed and breakfast rates, family deals and a free fourth night after three paid nights (Friday and Saturday night stay required).
