You should also have an arsenal of restaurants in mind that you’d like as the centerpieces of client dinners and meetings.
Planning a business trip is easy if you know where to start, and for those traveling to the Bay Area or San Francisco, choosing a hotel is step number one towards an enjoyable and productive trip.
