![]() “Many of my clients traveling on business stay at the W hotel. The rooms are well-appointed but quirky - in a good way - with Edwardian furniture and warm jewel tones.” -Linda Harrison, executive director of the Museum of the African Diaspora The hotel itself has a very quaint feeling. It’s surrounded by the ballet, the opera, the symphony, and SFJazz, so it’s in a great location for popping into restaurants, cafés, and bars. “This very small boutique hotel first opened in 1927, but everything is updated. The only thing I’d warn guests about is the location: The hotel is technically in Pacific Heights, in the western third of the city, so it tends to get foggy in the summer.” -Marc Fleishhacker, president of Julia B Linens Moser, which makes beautiful chairs, has its showroom there as well. Allison Caccoma, one of the city’s most sought-after designers, has her offices there. The hotel is half a block from the totally interesting and cool Sacramento Street, which has become the new center of all things interior design in San Francisco. “The rooms here are done up in pastel colors with a mix of tile and glass it feels a bit art deco. And it’s stumbling distance from probably the best restaurant in the city, the Brazen Head, an unmarked, old-school steakhouse.” -Kathryn Kalabokes, owner and creative designer at Dream a Little Dream Events, a boutique company specializing in weddings and private events It’s very bright and colorful, like a rainbow blew up. The walls of the rooms are orange and they decorate with blue flowers. It’s U-shaped, all of the rooms face the pool, there are tiles everywhere, and palm trees with colored lights. It feels like an old-school motel in Palm Springs that’s been redone. “The hotel is right in the heart of the Marina, which has tons of restaurants and bars a lot of young people live there. There is exposed brick, as well as some art pieces that aren’t abstract knockoffs, like a sculpture of a woman made from reclaimed materials by artist Brian Mock.” -Wendi Norris, founder of Gallery Wendi Norris Hotel Zeppelin offers all that you want and walk up and down the hills or jump on a cable car to explore the city from there. “I am always looking for affordable options in San Francisco, because I have so many curators, writers, and artists in need.
