USA / California / San Francisco / The gold standard / 2012 / The Palace Hotel / The two best words in the English language are 'room service.' Start the day properly with a golden cream waffle in bed served on a warm plate, bien sur, accompanied by fresh raspberries, dark maple syrup, plenty of steaming coffee and a strawberry banana smoothie for good measure. This is a meal you'll want to blow kisses at, the kind of good morning vittles that makes you grateful to wake up with the sun. © Leela Cyd Ross / Anzenberger
