The 10 Best Luxury & Boutique Hotels in San Francisco - AFAR

"A recently opened boutique retreat housed in a former brutalist Le Méridien building, offering about 360 rooms with warm, textured minimalist design that prioritizes calm—comfortable beds, blackout curtains, and minibars stocked with local goods like St. George gin. Rooms with rare balconies provide impressive Bay Bridge and Transamerica Tower views, while the hotel’s Third Floor bar and restaurant features an expansive terrace with firepits and cocktails by the Omakase restaurant group; tucked on a quieter Embarcadero block, it feels central without the downtown chaos." - Jessie Beck
