As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in America, renowned for its steep streets and rich culture, San Francisco is a place you can easily stay in style. Wondering where you will spend your business meetings and spare time dining? Whether you want to rent a hotel room or book a fully-furnished apartment, we’ve got your trip covered to ensure you make the most out of your stay in this unique city.
Airport Pickup
For a trip that oozes style and comfort from start to finish, it’s familiar for business travelers to avoid the unfamiliarity of public transport in a new city. And instead, book a chauffeur driver and luxury car. You can do this with ease online by using websites such as Blacklane, Five Star SF Limo or Limo Find. By booking a car ahead of time, you can guarantee your luggage will be handled, and you will experience a smooth journey from the airport to the door of your accommodation.
As you’ll be in San Francisco on business, it’s expected that when you land you’ll most likely have missed phone calls and emails to reply to. Having transport at the ready enables you to be productive in a comfortable setting and take in the passing sites of the city.
Luxury Accommodation
Perhaps the most significant aspect of your trip is where you choose to sleep. Where you spend your time recuperating after a long busy day meeting clients and pitching your projects makes a difference. In San Francisco, you have many options to choose from for upmarket accommodation. Whether you prefer elite hotel chains or would like to experience a luxury, furnished fully-equipped apartment (the rising trend of business travelers). The latter is increasingly becoming a more desirable and practical option.
Choosing an apartment from the company Blueground, in particular, allows you the freedom to commit to term contracts, such as a month’s stay, to up to a year if you wish. Plus, it comes with all the mod cons you might have at home too. For instance, a widescreen smart TV, Wi-Fi, surround sound speakers and most importantly, a high-quality luxury mattress for a good night’s sleep.
Therefore, an apartment of this nature is usually preferable for business travelers who are planning to stay somewhere for a while. Having a place to stay with comforts, luxury interior design and essential amenities, helps you to truly feel like a local. Find somewhere you can comfortably sit back and unwind before the important business meetings begin.
Places To Dine
If you’re a bit of a food connoisseur, your choices are either to perfect your master chef skills in your kitchen or to sample the exquisite food on offer out in San Francisco. For Pacific Northwest and wood fire cooking style, look no further than Birdsong, a restaurant based on Mission Street. Or perhaps an iconic dining experience within a converted chapel is more to your liking? If this is the case, then you should try the high-end Italian food and delicious wine at Acquerello on Sacramento Street.
There are a plethora of upscale and Michelin star restaurants and bistros in San Francisco. It’s easy to dine your trip away with all of the incredible meals, desserts, and fine wine available.
Wardrobe Style
To ensure your trip stays stylish, be selective about the clothing you take. This is a smart way to ensure you have what you need for all occasions. To create a capsule wardrobe, develop a theme of clothes that sit well, color-wise, with one another. Don’t forget to pair a few accessories to finish off each of your outfits too. If, when you arrive at your accommodation you realize you’ve forgotten an essential piece of clothing there’s no need to worry. Union Square in central San Francisco hosts an entire range of luxury clothing stores, from Brooks Brothers to Caroline Herrera.

Within your furnished apartment, typically you will have plenty of room to hang your things. There is often a washer and dryer in the apartment or at least in the building. However, understandably business trips can be restricted on time. So, to take care of your clothes and ensure they’re ready and waiting for you to wear each day, you can use a laundry service. The one that Blueground guests have access to for example is very handy. Just open the app and request laundry on whatever day works for you.
