Through Blue-Colored Glass

Inside a cool, blue glass tower that soars 32 stories above San Francisco, an InterContinental hotel opened recently in the South of Market district in San Francisco. Besides 550 rooms, the InterContinental San Francisco, near the Moscone Convention Center, will offer a restaurant called Luce with a 200-label wine cellar and Tuscany-themed menu and design.

The hotel's Bar 888 promises to get a grip on grappa, with an extensive selection of the Italian brandy. And you'll also find a spa, fitness center and indoor swimming pool. Room rates average $259 to $400 a night, the hotel said, although we found rates as low as $170 in March. (888) 811-4273, www.intercontinentalsanfrancisco.com.
