San Francisco/Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf
The city of San Francisco is really HOT right now, and it’s not afraid to be different. A trip to the museum typically doesn’t involve cocktails, dancing and live music, but nightlife events at these San Francisco museums will paint this experience in a different light.
Well-known around the Bay as a great date night or outing with friends, rotating themes, cocktail lists and live performance acts keep things fresh and interesting week after week. Mingle throughout the exhibitions, pour over the signature cocktails and leave more cultured, learned and entertained than before you arrived. These events are happening at Exploratorium After Dark at California Academy of Sciences on Thursdays, Contemporary Jewish Museum also on Thursdays, and De Young Museum on Fridays.

Don’t miss the Sheraton Social Hour with more than 90 wines to taste.
W South Beach Hotel & Residences
W South Beach
Travelers expect a modern, sophisticated, and legendary time while in South Beach, and the W South Beach delivers. No resort gets the WHATEVER/WHENEVER guests’ request like this one. They’ve actually procured a tiger for a birthday party at a guest’s request. Sure, the tiger attended the birthday party as a very special guest and really just served as a spectacle to look at in the room. He stayed with his trainer behind ropes, so guests could not get too close and ate quite a bit of raw meat. But that’s what the W Insiders are on call for—your outlandish request.
Sensational Suite Bedroom at W South Beach
Coupled with to W Hotels The Store, the retail venue located in Living Room (“lobby” is too pedestrian a term); sleek design complementing the eclectic museum-quality works that change regularly as part of W South Beach’s signature art exhibitions; all rooms positioned on a 25-degree angle, providing every guest with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean from their balcony; and ultra-luxury VIP Suites with a personal shopper and a W Insider VIP Concierge; W South Beach is an escape from the normal beach experience.
So book your tiger—uh, we mean—your getaway to one of these premier Starwood properties now!
