We are not your atypical hotel in San Francisco and far from conventional, so naturally, our events aren’t either. This past Wednesday the 12^th, Hotel Diva teamed up with Minna Life to bring “Sexy in SF”. Inspired by the century old concept of a bachelorette party, without the excuse of a bride to be, Sexy in SF was a night full of fun with lingerie shopping, cocktails, and burlesque dancers!

Good Vibrations' sexologist, Carol Queen, taught many how to express their inner diva while others touched base with their inner goddess. Local brands such as St. Germain showcased zealous sweet liqueur for tasting. While PinkBerry and Cako brought beams to those with sweet tooth’s. 

Oh and we cannot forget the Red Hot Burlesque dancers who put together a performance that made everyone hoot and holler all night long. With La Trappe Beer and Wine by Gary Finch quenched all the men’s taste buds and Lashfully beautifying all the ravishing ladies there was a place for everyone! Along with eyelash extensions ladies had the opportunity to receive free sample products from Melvita – French organic make up products.  

Boudoir by Lily offered free photo sessions with sensual masks, and disguises with instant printed copies. Next door to Boudir was Pink Bunny with various accessories and toys on display to purchase. BossaNova brought delicious Brasilian outdoor barbequing, together with Little Black Dress Vodka, spiced up the aroma with flavorful, low-calorie cocktail drinks for all. Dozens of rhinestone-studded blindfolds exhibited on white duvets by were a hit! 

This was a night where we all danced the night away and made some wonderful memories! Sexy in SF was a night full of sophisticated entertainment, fun and company for all.  Maybe we should make this a annual tradtion?

The Holidays are here. They crept up on us and came too quickly, so now is the time to sit back, relax, drink some spiked egg nog or maybe a hot toddy and enjoy the festivities.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, or your own celebration, you cant ignore the influx of candy canes, strings of blinking lights, and promises of best deals. Holiday décor is here, it isnt going anywhere so you might as well sit back, drink a hot toddy, be merry and take it all in.

At Personality Hotels we pride ourselves in being the best boutique hotel group in Union Square (San Francisco for that matter) and we try really hard to do EVERYTHING for our guests. So why not live up to our own standards and provide our guests with a curated list of go-to Holiday “things” that aren’t too tacky or touristy. Enjoy

 Dine with Stag

Stag Dining Group is not your typical dining experience. It is clandestine event  that delivers a constant changing epicurean menu. The menus are decided well in advance, making sure that everything is sustainable and from local farms and purveyors. Seating is limited and, of course, the location is always kept secret; so if you’re in town quickly grab a seat!

Macys 

Ok yes, it’s Macy’s but what’s exciting is the amount of holiday decoration that adorns every spot in, around and on Macys. Oh and ladies, if you need to use the restroom, take a trek up to the fifth floor and go through the doors that take you back to an era before pop up toilets. The women's bathroom in Macys, Union Square is great...

Westfield Shopping Mall - perfect for kids

If you have kids in tow then take a moment and stop at the Westfield Shopping Mall located in the middle of Union Square and take them up to the top floor, let them lay down on the floor and enjoy a little animation fun. Each night, Westfields iconic dome will come to life with animated 3D light spectacular, with music to match.

Shopping in the Mission

A $10 cab ride away from Hotel Diva, Hotel Union Square or Kensington Park, the Mission area is definitely the place to go if you are looking for unique gifts. Stroll along Valencia and pop into a variety of specialty shops. From a Pirate store, to a Taxidermy shop, to Dog Eared Books and back to The Curiosity Shoppe, this area is great to find gifts for those who have it all, or say they don't want anything. After all, who wouldn't want a pirate eye patch?
