The legendary Westin St. Francis hotel in San Francisco, California, United States, at which I have stayed at least twice, is offering rooms for the special rate of US$100.00 per night.

Find out the reason why in the Westin St Francis $100/ Night For 100th Anniversary thread.

Well, I suppose the title of the thread obviously gave away the reason why the Westin St. Francis is offering rooms at US$100.00 per night, which means that you do not need to read the thread after all – unless you want to find out the details of this special offer, such as when the special rate is good, how to book a room, and whether or not you can earn Starwood Preferred Guest points…

For example, at the time this was posted, in Thailand one soldier was wounded in a Ruso railway station bombing, Greenpeace is blocking a cargo ship in the Netherlands, a boy was killed in a bomb blast in Uganda, a napalm bomb was tested in New Zealand, and at least four bomb threats were reported in various locations in the United States. Other incidents were occurring in other various locations around the world.

I am happy to report that no dangerous incidents are being reported at this time in the continents of South America and Australia.

Should passengers in the coach or economy class cabins be treated like worthless cattle by employees of airlines while they are polite to passengers in the premium class cabin?

To passengers who have earned their elite perks: “Would you care for some filet mignon or some lobster thermidor as your dinner this evening?”
