The Penthouse Suite at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel | San Fransisco, CA
Talk about the greatest fluke of the century! Somehow, our reservations got mysteriously "upgraded"--to the BEST room in the entire hotel! That's right, there are 18 habitable floors with the 19th being the famous Top of the Mark restaurant. We were room 1801-the only other room on the whole floor was 1800! So, needless to say, we brought the whole wedding party back to our place both nights and proceeded to act out funny scenes in the library and at the very presidential looking desk. The views were absolutely incredible--from the bay bridge to the Golden Gate and everything in between. Spectacular 360 degree views! My favorite was the bathroom. Jacuzzi tub (with bath salt in a crystal decanter) and a huge marble shower with two shower heads pointed at each other. And omg, the products!! Wow.
In the dining room, we soon discovered that the wood "paneling" was actually a bunch of hidden cabinets that you had to push open like speaker doors. In addition to the full kitchen and dining room, there was a living room (with library) and another wing containing the bedroom, bathroom and balcony overlooking the other 180 degrees of the city. The bed was enormous and yet managed to look small in this palatial room. I did a cartwheel, that's how big this place was.
Dual surround sound stereos were a great touch as you could move from room to room and the same song played throughout the suite.
