GIRLS GONE INTERNATIONAL
Personality Hotels Offers a Trip Around the World All in One Spot

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – February 10, 2009 – Sipping a cappuccino at a sidewalk café in Rome while flirting with the cute Italian waiter; gazing at the Paris skyline from atop the Eiffel Tower; basking in the sun poolside at a luxury resort in Mexico… dare to dream, my dear. If jet setting from one hotspot to another just isn’t in your financial cards right now, Personality Hotels has the perfectly affordable cure for the vacation blues….a whirlwind trip around the world all in one spot – San Francisco! Renowned as one of the world’ most international and cosmopolitan cities, a girl can zip from Italy to Mexico in just 15 minutes (and for under $100!). Now, what’s more chic than having the world at your doorstep?

The “Girls Gone International Package” includes deluxe accommodations available at six of Personality Hotels’ boutique hotels: the brand new Hotel Vertigo, Hotel Diva, Hotel Metropolis, Hotel Union Square, Kensington Park Hotel and The Maxwell Hotel (soon to be Hotel Frank). Plus, “international visits” to:

• France - Indulge in a French manicure with special discounted rates available at luxury salon & spa MNKYTHMP and “I-need-a-good-manicure-quick!” Joana Nails.
• Mexico – Recreate spring break with guacamole (made fresh tableside) and tequila shots, or splurge on a top-shelf margarita with a $15 credit at Colibri Mexican Bistro.
• China – Find Mr. Right (or at least Mr. Right Now) with “You’re a hot cookie” fortune cookies to give out to any *hot cookies* you meet during your travels.
• Italy – a latte, tiramisu and a cute, flirty waiter await you at San Francisco's renowned Steps of Rome Café in North Beach. Receive 10% off your entire tab (including alcohol) and a complimentary tiramisu dessert when you book your reservation through OpenTable.com and mention Personality Hotels.
• $10 bucks to use anyway you wish (per package)

The “Girls Gone International Package” is currently valid through June 30, 2009. Rates start at just $99, excluding tax and based upon availability. For reservations, call 800.553.1900 or visit www.personalityhotels.com.
