The Intercontinental in USE is still listed on the Hotwire Hotel List as 4.5 stars (not 4 stars as mentioned above). A HOTWIRE vacation package search also confirms the hotel is still rated 4.5 stars. There is another Intercontinental hotel in SFO (the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental). The Mark Hopkins is rated 4 stars, however is in the Nob Hill zone (not USE).

Although the Intercontinental is currently the only reported 4.5 star hotel in the USE zone, Hotwire is listing another yet unreported hotel with that star rating. A HOTWIRE hotel search for today, July 12, entering 2 people in the search, displays a 4.5 star hotel in USE with different amenties and different TripAdvisor ratings than the Intercontinental. However, if you enter 3 adults in the search, a hotel matching the Intercontinental displays.

Hope that clarifies things a little......

What are your travel dates?

Ooopss...yup you are right Beav...it's 28 July 09 through 1 aug. Thanks! :)

According to Hotwire, the hotel you're seeing has a TripAdvisor rating of 4.0 with over 300 reviews, which is a match for the Palace Hotel. The amenities displayed are a match for the W Hotel, however that property is only rated 3.5 stars by Tripadvisor. So using the TripAdvisor information listed, my guess is that what you're seeing is the Palace Hotel with the Spa amenity being dropped from the display.

Good luck!

Thank you Beav...Yeah was hoping either i can get W or Intercontinental...

I ended up not taking the deal from hotwire since intercontinental offered CA staycation for USD 189 /++ inclusive of parking and breakfast.
