Yes, Please: Mandarin Oriental San Francisco for $295 Over Labor Day Weekend

Obviously, the SF fog was “cooperating” the day the hotel took this pic.
One of our recurring problems in life is that our love for Mandarin Oriental Hotels cannot always be supported by our wobbling bank account. So whenever we see a deal at Mandarin, who are known for luxury amenities and unreal service, we try to jump on …

Well, when one of our operatives was in at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco last week, they noticed this convention was taking place: Society of Single Professionals: Bay Area Flirting Convention.
Sadly, our operative was not able to get in …

But now, if you’re a member of the Wyndham ByRequest program you …
