Catering services manager Nuno Matias said the name change was 'our way of saying thank you to Joe, and the whole cafe team'. He added: 'They support our community and brighten the days of people who walk through our doors.'

According to a survey by Mattress Advisory, the average American swaps out their dirty sheets for fresh ones every 24 days, but sheets should be washed way more frequently - at least once a week.

As congestion at major hubs continues to intensify - particularly for frequent business class travelers who often split their flying between commercial flights and business jets - we're seeing a growing shift toward these clients consolidating more, if not all, of their flying through XO.

'Never ever use these three things in a hotel room,' she warned in a video. Her first tip was to avoid using the 'wall-mounted refillable containers with soap and shampoo' now commonly found in hotel bathrooms.

"Storytelling has always been at the heart of the American West, and sharing a classic cowboy poem at turndown brings that heritage into the guest experience in a more personal way."

Like Johnny Cash, San Jose Sports Authority Executive Director John Poch has been everywhere. He used to travel every month to different cities to see their sports events, looking for San Jose's next potential opportunity. And just about every city he went to had some sort of visitor center. But San Jose didn't have one - until this week with the launch of the Locker Room - a visitor center and merchandise store - in downtown San Jose.

The Board of Supes Budget and Finance Committee Wednesday sent forward without recommendation a plan to give a private developer $40 million for a hotel project that appears to be a direct violation of the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance. Supporters of the plan, including Mayor Daniel Lurie and Sup. Matt Dorsey, say that turning an old, historic office building on Third Street into a modern hotel would help revitalize downtown.

After I had checked out and said my goodbyes, I walked through the gate to catch my ride to the airport. This volunteer then blocked my way and cornered me. She went on a yelling, screaming rant, saying that I hadn't left my private room (which I paid $100/night for) clean enough for her liking, and that it's not her job to clean up after me.

When I tell fellow tech executives that every employee at sunday, from our engineers to our finance team, must complete a restaurant shift before they can fully onboard, I usually get confused looks. "You mean like, shadow someone?" they ask. No. I mean they tie on an apron, take orders, run food, and yes, deal with the 15-minute wait for the check that our product was literally built to eliminate.

Construction of hotels has plunged in the Bay Area, a nosedive that was unleashed by stubborn problems for hotel financing and elevated construction costs, a new report from Atlas Hospitality Group shows. An estimated 15 hotels with an aggregate 1,610 rooms were under construction in the Bay Area during 2025, representing a sharp decline from the equivalent totals in 2024, according to the report from Atlas Hospitality. This news organization derived the totals from figures that Atlas Hospitality compiled for its report.

On my first day at Canyon Ranch's $20,000 four-day Longevity8 retreat in November, the schedule sounded dauntingly packed: I received a list of appointments with doctors and wellness specialists across a range of fields, from fitness to flexibility, meditation to mental health. In between electrocardiograms, carotid ultrasounds, and DEXA scans, I would attend spa appointments, fitness classes, and group hikes through the Santa Catalina Mountains;

The food was great, and so was the conversation. My husband leaned close to me and whispered, She's brushing her teeth! I glanced to my left. I had thought the gal at the next table was just using a toothpick. No, she was vigorously brushing with a full-sized toothbrush! After about a minute, she placed the toothbrush into a cosmetic bag and pulled out a denture container.

The late-winter months are not usually a busy season for San Francisco hotels, but occupancy is high this month thanks to Super Bowl 60 on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Top-ranked hotels - if any still have rooms available - are cashing in on demand, with average rates fetching more than $1,200 a night. That's more than six times the average rate for peak times outside the weekend of the game, explained Kathleen Davis, CEO of the Sports Management Research Institute.

From bungalows on fog-kissed beaches to treehouses in redwood forests to suites in vibrant city neighborhoods, this corner of Northern California is defined by its diversity, and its many vacation rentals reflect that spirit beautifully. A great Bay Area rental isn't just a place to sleep between adventures; it's an invitation to experience the region the way locals do-slow mornings with coffee and views, evenings spent soaking in hot tubs under the stars, and interiors that feel as thoughtful as the landscapes outside.

On a recent two-week trip to Japan with my fiancé - six cities, six hotels - every stay was gorgeous and perfectly appointed. We wanted for nothing. Except, in most cases, a proper bathroom door. Instead, we spent the better part of two weeks making accidental eye contact through frosted glass and translucent panels while one of us was otherwise occupied. A design choice, apparently. A test of intimacy, definitely.

The best way to overcome travel accidents is to always be prepared. That includes packing just a little soap before you go. "Bring concentrated liquid detergent in a small travel bottle-it's easier to rinse out than powder," O'Connor said. " Dr. Bronner's or Woolite works well for hand washing. You can skip fabric softener. This just adds rinse cycles you don't need."
