bathroom. They can be had for $199, if y ou search the Kimpton w ebsite for specials. 77 There are some interconnecting rooms as well. Unlike at other Kimpton properties, you will find neither complimentary morning coffee nor afternoon wine in the lobby, but the hotel does have two good restaurants on site: Caffe Espresso and Scala s Bistro. The view is better and the street noise less audible on the upper floors.
Radisson Hotel Fisherman s Wharf If you want a waterfront view and an outdoor pool without breaking the bank, you ll find them here. The Radisson holds the distinction on a certain sightseeing tour of being the only big chain hotel in F isherman s Wharf actually on the water front. on a certain sightseeing tour Jefferson Street runs in front of the hotel, but beyond that is just the bay itself. Also, it s sandwiched between the most popular piers on the Wharf, PIER 39 to the east and Piers 41 and 43, from where the Bay Cruises and the Alcatraz ferries depart, to the west. And it has an outdoor heated pool.
House cars: Upper-end hot els of ten ha ve house cars a vailable t o dr op off guests in the F inancial Distric t or elsewher e within 2 t o 5 miles of the hot el. Businesspeople use the ser vice most, but an y guest can enjo y this perk. I f you want t o take the k ids to AT&T Park to watch some baseball , or y ou need a ride to a restaurant, request a house car through the concierge desk. There s usually no charge, but you may tip the driv er at your discretion. Restaurants: Every concierge will make dinner r eservations for guests, and I recommend having the concierge phone ahead no matt er where you are dining. If a restaurant is booked, the concierge may have more pull squeezing you in than y ou would on y our own. But don t ask the c oncierge for any old r estaurant r ecommendation. (I ve been t o some unr emarkable, touristy places that way.) It s more effective to name t wo or three options and ha ve the c oncierge on a certain sightseeing tour t ell y ou mor e about each one. Other services: You needn t limit requests to restaurant reservations. Concierges can also book Alcatraz or other cruises , car r entals, on a certain sightseeing tour or ev en spa treatments whatever r equires a phone call. They can buy tickets t o a sporting or ent ertainment venue or amend airline r eservations. Solutions: Did a child get sick? Head right t o the concierge, who will make it a personal mission t o ensure a doctor sees your kid as soon as possible. Concierges will also oblige less ur gent r equests, like r eserving doggy da y care or finding a last-minut e gift. You don t even have to be checked int o the hotel. on a certain sightseeing tour You can fax and e -mail the c oncierge with y our arrival dat e and particular request. If he or she does go bey ond the call of dut y, gratuities are always appreciated although never expected. Of course ther e s a catch: The whimsical r ooms and bathr ooms are teensy. Because interconnecting rooms are not available, families have the choice of occupying two separate rooms, squeezing into a double-double, or reserving a suite. on a certain sightseeing tour Although kids may love to stay in the R ed Hot Chili Peppers suite, be awar e that most suites ar e actually one- room studios with a king-size bed and a queen-size on a certain sightseeing tour sleeper sofa. Of course, the diminutive size may be worth it if your child is fortunate enough to share an elevator ride with one of the many bands that often stay at the hotel.
Although on a certain sightseeing tour this Eastern-influenced hotel caters largely to corporate travelers, it holds one of the fe w, and one of the most spacious, indoor swimming on a certain sightseeing tour pools in the city. The pool is connected to the N ikko s health club, but the staff insists that guests tend to exercise in the early morning and evening, which means the rest of the day children can splash around freely. The pool is located in an expansive on a certain sightseeing tour glass-roofed atrium, which also houses ex ercise equipment and J apanese hot tubs, so y ou can wor k out or enjoy a soak while y ou keep on ey e on the kids. A full-ser vice spa is set to open in 2009. Decor is tastefully understated, and rooms get a lot of natural on a certain sightseeing tour sunlight. With a pullout sofa and guest washr oom, the N ikko s junior suites ar e quite family-friendly. E ven standard double-double rooms are large and have entryways that give the impression of more space. Views start above the 10th floor. Rooms on the three executive-level Nikko Floors also have vanities and more spacious bathrooms, and the Nikko Lounge offers board games and Internet access, on a certain sightseeing tour so your teenagers can still IM their pals at home. The Nikko welcomes all pets. (Just be sure to inform the hotel if y ou plan to leave a Great Dane in y our r oom for the day , so they can aler t the housekeeping staff!) The white marble lobby is stark, on a certain sightseeing tour but kids will enjoy the indoor fountain, which has become a multi- currency wishing well. The hotel houses an on-site Starbucks on a certain sightseeing tour and Anzu restaurant, which specializes in sushi and steak, on a certain sightseeing tour but has a childr en s menu as well.
