Hyatt Hotels of San Francisco and SFMTA Introduce Exclusive San Francisco Passport Package

Located in the city’s most desirable, family-friendly neighborhoods, Hyatt Hotels of San Francisco are teaming up with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to offer visitors a one-of-a-kind experience.

The two entities have just launched the city’s only “Explore San Francisco” package, that features accommodations at any one of Hyatt’s four San Francisco hotels along with two SFMTA passports, which provides unlimited daily use on any one or all of San Francisco’s public transportation vehicles, including the iconic cable cars, historic streetcars, busses, trolleys and any of the other convenient SFMTA modes of transportation. (Note: this is not only the best way to get around San Francisco, but by avoiding the use of a car, visitors will also depreciate their carbon footprint on the city, making this a greener alternative)

Additionally, those booking the “Explore San Francisco” package will also receive the exclusiveHyatt Passport, which is a unique keepsake that chronicles the guests’ journey through the city. Passport holders are also eligible to receive 15% discounts on food and beverage purchases at any one of the hotels’ restaurant (excludes alcohol) as well as $5.00 discounts from some of the city’s most popular attractions, including: Red and White Fleet, Wax Museum, Open Top Sightseeing, Tower Tours and Bike and Roll.

The Hyatt Passport features a long list of some of the Hyatt Concierge Team’s best suggestions for family friendly activities and attractions* and also includes a sheet of fun stickers for passport holders to “stamp” inside the VISA pages once they have visited featured sites.

Potty Talk

Let’s face it, nobody really likes potty talk, but Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport is flushing things out and is bound to make their competition green with envy.

As a recent recipient of Skytrax hotel poll’s “Best Airport Hotel Awards 2011 in North America,” Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport has just installed nearly 800 new, eco-friendly toilets in all its guestrooms and public restrooms.

As part of the hotel’s commitment to the environment, Chief Engineer Larry Builta is continuously looking for ways to enhance the property’s green initiatives. He comments, “As a result of this recent installation, the hotel saves at least 2.5 gallons of water on each flush, resulting in approximately 500,000 gallons of water a month and an annual savings of $125,000 in water/sewage costs.” Thanks to this initiative with PG&E, the hotel anticipates several additional partnerships in conservation with the public utility as the hotel continues to minimize its impact on the environment.

For consumers interested in the water saving toilets installed at the hotel, the specific style name/number is the Caravelle 270. Available online at Amazon.com and many other sites, this model is also available at neighborhood appliance stores. Highlights of the product are as follows:

· High efficiency toilet (HET) - 1.6/0.8 gallons (6/3 liters) per flush

· Two piece, two button dual flush toilet

· Large fully concealed trapway

· Virtually unblockable

· 10-12" adjustable rough-in
