Re: A getaway for only one night
We have done one-nighters on weekends at some of the bigger hotels in San Franciso. Most recently, it was the W. We have also stayed at the St. Regis. Both of these are nice because they are near good restaurants and the museum. We did one night at the St. Francis on Union Square before, too.

Re: Place for one-night getaway in SF
The Argonaut Hotel in Fisherman's Wharf is my new favorite get- away spot in SF. We went there purely out of just trying to find a reasonable place to stay for an overnight getaway and it ended up being really nice for so many reasons. The architecture and interior design of the hotel and hotel rooms is very cool and the rooms are fun, unique, and made for a romantic kind of setting (dimmers on the lights and things). They give you a CD to play with some nice local artists and we opened a bottle of wine from the minibar. We then got our coats and walked around and found a nice spot to eat. It's also a Kimpton Hotel which means they offer spa services, so we planned ahead and had massages in our room after dinner. The whole night was great. When we booked I thought it would be kind of lame being in a touristy area, but it ended up being fun and we could kind of pretend that we were on a mini-vacation.

Hi there, My husband and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary on October 1st. We have already arranged for our daughter to spend the night at a friend's house that night, and we are planning on spending the night at a hotel (don't know which yet) and possibly seeing a show and of course having a lovely dinner (not in that order!). Anybody have any recommendations for (a) a hotel, (b) a great place for dinner, and possibly (c) a fun cultural event such as a theatre production or concert? We're in Contra Costa, but would stay anywhere within a few hours drive of here. SF seems like the most obvious choice, but we're open to suggestions all suggestions. Many thanks!

The Majestic Hotel. It worked for us before we moved here. Lovely butterfly collection, great bar, great restuarant..wonderful appointed rooms with four poster bed & fireplace.

Our 10 yr. anniversary is coming up in 2 months and we would like to celebrate by having a romantic weekend in SF (without the kids!). Our thought is to spend one or 2 nights in a nice hotel or B&B, and do lots of fun, even touristy, things. We are up for something ''splurge''-y, but draw the line at take-out-another-mortgage exorbitant. Any ideas on places to stay, places to dine, and things to do would be most appreciated!
--Looking forward to a long-awaited getaway

Re: Romantic Getaway for Couples

My husband and I recently spent a weekend in SF at a B and B called the Chateau Tivoli @ 1057 Steiner, between Golden Gate and .....can't remember the other street. It was a lovely place. It's an old restored Victorian with a very interesting history. It has about 13 rooms, all named after famous people (The Enrico Caruso, the Mark Twain, etc.) and decorated very beautifully in that period. The prices start at about $95.00 per night and go up. They have beautiful 2 room suites, or smaller rooms with or without private bath. The breakfasts were yummy and very lovely at a long table for about 12. We went out for dinner on Friday eve (walk to Japan Center so you don't have to look for parking when you get back) and on Saturday we walked all over the city, down to the theatre district, got tickets for a show that night, walked to Yerba Buena Gardens, went into stores, ate, etc. AFter the show we took a cab back. It was a wonderfully romantic weekend (without kids of course) and I can't recommend the Chateau Tivoli more highly. Have fun. anon
