Two-Story Gingerbread House Graces Fairmont San Francisco

Filed under: Dining, Luxury Travel & Hotels

A few days ago I mentioned the sugar palace at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco but that's not the only giant holiday confection taking up residence at a San Francisco luxury hotel this season. The Fairmont San Francisco has created its annual gingerbread house. The two-story house in the Fairmont lobby is made out of 5,500 pieces of gingerbread, 850 pounds of icing, 425 pounds of candy and eight gallons of chocolate. It's a tempting treat, each day the chefs have to make repairs because some people often break off pieces of the house.

Filed under: Pets

Jet-setting pet owners in San Francisco can now feel a little less guilty about leaving their furry family members behind when they travel. The Wag Hotel in San Francisco has just opened, offering luxury accommodations for your dog. Comfy rooms, individual attention and playtime with other guests make the Wag Hotel different that your standard boarding facility. Promising more fun than a day at the park, standard rates include playgroup time and classical music in individual rooms. Upgrade to the Luxury Suite and your dog can relax on a comfy sofa to watch television or just gaze at the paintings on the wall. For the truly pampered pooch, a la carte options include grooming, massage and dips in the swimming pool. Cat lovers need not feel left out as the Wag Hotel also offers cat condos with a view of the tropical fish tank. The Wag Hotel also has a location in Sacramento and is planning to open another in Sunnyvale in November 2007. Rates for dogs start at $28 per day with a roommate and go up to $72 for the private Luxury Suite.
