A room with a view takes on a whole new meaning when you’re cozied up at San Francisco’s tallest hotel. Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco offers an ideal vantage point for viewing Bay Lights, an iconic light sculpture designed by internationally acclaimed artist Leo Villareal to showcase the city’s Oakland Bay Bridge.

The two-year art installation debuted March 5, so there’s still plenty of time to trip the light fantastic. Guestroom categories with optimum vantage points include Mandarin Bay Bridge and Premier Bridge to Bridge. The sky’s the limit as you tailor the experience for romance — Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries — family time — soft drinks and popcorn — and anything in between.

Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
