"In the city center at the nexus of Union Square and SoMa, the sleek, contemporary Axiom Hotel, opened in 2016, is a relative newcomer to San Francisco’s lodging scene. The century-old building though, preserves its historic character through charming moldings and an intricate facade, while the sleek design and thoughtful amenities inside cater to modern travelers. A soothing eggshell-and–powder blue palette and minimalist design makes each guest room feel like a refuge from the city. That theme carries throughout, from the soft mood lighting and the homey bedding to the marble bathrooms. This spot gets high marks for its convenient location, laid back vibe, and Astro the delivery robot, who assists the staff by making contact-free deliveries to guests." - Megan McCrea, Jenna Scatena
