Orbitz Launches 48-Hour California Hotel Sale

Launching today (and lasting only 48 hours), Orbitz is having one of their sexiest sales ever with their 48-Hour California hotel sale (2/14-2/16). Not only is California a great place to take family vacations, lay on the beach, enjoy the wine country, relax on the golf course or have a day at the spa… it's trendy and sexy!

According to a new survey from Orbitz, San Francisco is the country's sexiest city! Orbitz collected the data as part of their 2011 Valentine's Travel Survey, asking users to select from one of six selected sexy destinations. Here is a breakdown of the results as well some info on why San Francisco is so attractive to A-listers.

San Francisco – #1
A host of Michelin-starred restaurants, a short drive to world class wine country and a thriving nightlife make San Francisco a sexy spot for everyone from dot.com millionaires to celebs looking to escape L.A (Paris Hilton and Leonardo DiCaprio were recently spotted at S.F.'s swanky Redwood Room). The City By the Bay is also the backdrop for one of the year's hottest movies (The Social Network) and home to A-Listers like Clint Eastwood, Sharon Stone and the guys from Green Day.
