Personality Hotels, San Francisco's original boutique hotel company, is capitalizing on this by making it affordable to host a first-class meeting on a small budget at two of their top properties, Hotel Diva and Kensington Park. "We wanted to show meeting planners that even with corporate budget cuts, that they can still afford to host a first rate meeting in San Francisco at a top quality hotel," says Personality Hotels' President and CEO Yvonne Lembi-Detert. Hotel Diva, with its sleek and sexy contemporary design, is offering a diva-style meeting package for the super stylish, yet cost-efficient price of $199 per person, per night that includes a deluxe room, meeting room space for up to 35 people, breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon snacks, free wireless access throughout the hotel and complimentary parking. Prices do not include tax, and are based upon single occupancy. While staying at Hotel Diva, guests can also take advantage of the swanky Diva Boudoir, filled with snacks and beverages, video rentals and complimentary use of an iMac computer. For music-lovers, iPods are available for $10 to $15 per day at the front desk, complete with special Diva music mixes. Exuding grand San Francisco charm, The Kensington Park is situated in an elegant 1925 building furnished with Queen Anne antiques. The complete meeting package includes a deluxe room, meeting room space for up to 35 people, breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon breaks and complimentary parking for $189 per person, per night, excluding tax and based upon single occupancy. Guests may choose to upgrade to the luxurious Royal Court Floor for an additional $30 per person, per day, that includes feather beds with designer duvet covers, comfortable robes, slippers, complimentary continental breakfast and more.
