Wow, just wow! This hotel is beautiful. It is nestled at the base of a hill with beautiful views of the Bay. The property was undergoing some renovations to the outside, but was still stunning to view. The inside is so elegant. It reminded me so much of the Hotel Del Coronado (San Diego) and the Plaza (NYC), but with out their price tags. Very large spacious halls, and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff was great. We spent some time in the Lobby Bar, and the staff was attentive and humorous. We were hoping to see the sabering of the champagne (at 5pm), but the bottle was uncorked rather than sabered. Oh well. I wish we had more time to explore the property and I was really interested in the Saturday morning hike but we had to leave too early on Saturday to partake. Next time.
