Admiring the herb garden from the trashcan. Posh!
Posh, we often think, is a state of mind, not just a clear cut economic thing, and our recent visit to the Hotel Del Coronado made us think that, while the trendy hotels of the Gaslamp District may be giving her a run for her money, the grand dame could still teach them a thing or two about detail. ]]>
The iconic on-the-water Hotel del Coronado isn't a recession-friendly hotel. But us suckers just might pony up the nearly $300-a-night fee if the hotel throws some freebies in. Plus, its gorgeous beach is a draw; it's usually voted one of the best in the United States.
Buy two nights at the famed hotel, the setting for the Marilyn Monroe flick Some Like It Hot, and you'll get an evening free. Rooms hover around $283 a night for the package.]]>

The weather is getting chilly—and downright freezing in some parts—which means that hotels are rolling out one of our favorite wintertime amenities, ice rinks. Hitting the ice just makes it feel like the holidays, and you have your pick of hotel rinks across the country where you can lace up and work on your figure eight.
