Getting a "Suite" Deal at San Francisco Luxury Hotels

Try this technique to get a suite at any of the San Francisco luxury hotels for less cost:

1. Pick one of the slight-less-lavish San Francisco luxury hotels (say the Westin instead of the Ritz-Carlton).
2. Reserve a standard room, and then upgrade to a suite when you arrive.
3. Upgrade costs range from free to $100, depending on the property and location, but you can save from $15 to $275 over your cost for reserving a suite right away.
4. Arrive in the early afternoon for the best chance of an upgrade, before business travelers get there and snatch up all the suites.

This strategy works even if you've made your original reservation through a consolidator or an auction website such as Priceline.

To boost your chances for an upgrade, join the hotel's rewards program. Members often get first choice at free and fee-based upgrades.
