Deal of the week

Celebrate the holiday season in San Francisco with hotel rates that begin at $58 per night.

A new website sponsored by the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau, www.sfholidayfest.com, lists specials and hot deals through Dec. 31. More than 260 hotels are participating, with locations throughout the city, including Union Square, Fisherman’s Wharf and Nob Hill.

Visitors booking two consecutive nights on a Visa card also receive a holiday kit that contains two BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) tickets, a certificate for five pounds of See’s candy and other coupons.

The website also lists community events and activities scheduled for the holiday season.
