St Regis it is - thank you very much for all your recommendations, thoughts and input!

I’m not from SFO so others might have better insight. But when I’ve stayed there on my own points I found Le Meridien to be more than sufficient. Just make sure you have Lyft/Uber downloaded to take you around town.

Welcome to SF. My recommendation: St Regis, Palace Hotel, Westin St. Francis

St Regis is by far the best. But where are you staying on Monday? I would probably just stay is the same hotel so as to not have to move.

+1 on Westin St Francis... while not the best SPG property, it puts you right in the middle of everything

I think you can't go wrong with Palace or St. Regis

The Park Central is a good third choice

Westin is in a crappy area. st Regis is a great hotel. And great service. Palace second choice

St Regis or W

W rooms are tiny and it's not at all as luxurious as st Regis or palace. Hope you get the upgrade!

Points don’t matter - I have more than enough.
Great advice on the Uber!

Why use points if traveling for client work?

Client work will start Monday, but will use the opportunity to spend already the weekend there. There is no business need for me to be in the US Saturday/Sunday. Would be sufficient to arrive on Monday...

Will travel to Dublin on Monday, so def don’t want to stay there over the weekend 🙈

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
