The St Regis San Francisco PRESIDENTIAL SUITE

A St Regis hotel conjures ideas of old-school glamour, filled with over-the-top crown molding and opulent fabrics. The St Regis San Francisco turns that idea on its head, while maintaining the impeccable service and luxury the brand is known for. When building the hotel, the architects must have taken inspiration from its neighbor, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as the decor is contemporary, and the artwork and installations are, well, modern. As expected, the pampering remains top-notch: The house car is a Bentley, the Remède Spa is among the best in the city and the hotel has a 50-ft heated saltwater pool. The one-bedroom Presidential Suite occupies a prime corner of the building and features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the verdant Yerba Buena Gardens. The large, light-filled living area has two sitting areas filled with contemporary furnishings and modern art. For those traveling on business, there is a separate, elegant office with a leather-topped desk and a printer. It’s easy to entertain in the 3,200-sq-ft suite: There’s a dining table for 10, and a butler will arrange every detail from a discreet post in the butler’s pantry. The butler can arrange any type of custom experience for you and will greet you each morning with coffee or tea. San Francisco sights If it’s a beautiful day, head to a park near the Golden Gate Bridge for a picnic in true St Regis style. A butler will head to the park early and set up a table, complete with white tablecloth and an umbrella, where you can enjoy a delectable meal while admiring uninterrupted views of the Bay and the city’s famous landmarks.
