As one of the most recent professionals to receive membership in the prestigious Les Clefs d’Or organization, Teri Ching, a concierge at Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport is proud to introduce “Teri’s Top Ten.” As a resource she shares with her guests, “Teri’s Top Ten” are lists of her personal, favorite things to do and places to eat in the San Francisco Peninsula area.
As the only concierge within the Peninsula area with Les Clefs d’Or distinction, Teri Ching has had an admirable career in the hospitality industry. Prior to joining Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport – Burlingame in 2005, she worked for American Airlines’ Admirals Club for 21 years, six of which were in Honolulu, HI. As a “local girl,” she and her husband raised their children in Hillsborough. The result…a personal connection to the area with lots of insider tips that she willingly shares with her guests and colleagues.
