In an attempt to lure affluent techies, the Standford Court hotel on Nob HIll is in the midst of a renovation to modernize the hotel. The renovation includes adding an area called the "Tech Bar," where guests are encouraged to try out gadgets. There will also be iPads in the lobby and Zipcars in the driveway. "We want to cater to business and leisure travelers with a more modern approach, that's also San Francisco-centric," said general manager Michael Baier. [SFGate]
