Ridiculous San Francisco hotel prices |
Cash and points availability and points availability at the SPG properties were both zeroed out. So I started looking at other options. The last few trips, we've either stayed at the W or St. Regis. The InterContinental San Francisco is just a few blocks away in the SoMa area.

Paid rates were also going for $800+ AI but there was award availability! Both Emily and I were sitting on balances of 100,000 IHG points so this was a no-brainer and I booked it.
That's nearly 1.93 cents per point. Pretty much unheard of for IHG points. This is a perfect example of how this hobby can pay off big time. Diversify your point balances and you'll have options when you need them - whether that be a last minute flight or a tough (meaning really expensive) hotel market like San Francisco.
