Tips and deals of the week: The Zetta San Francisco, PackDivider Drysacks and Al Fresco Holidays competition

The hotel

San Francisco has a new hotel. The Zetta, part of The Viceroy group, is housed in a 1913 building in the SoMa district. A "classic American party food" restaurant will follow in March (viceroyhotelgroup.com).

The kit

Aquapac's new PackDivider Drysacks are waterproof and transparent, so you can see the contents. It makes them good for water-based activities or for leakable items. From £9 (aquapac.net).

The competition

Al Fresco Holidays is offering the chance to win a family break at one of its European holiday parks. The competition is for children, who must submit a 500-word story about a journey (blog.thomsonalfresco.co.uk).
