"A mid-century style hotel with a rock 'n' roll soul. Super retro and funky '50s vibe with artwork covering the walls by local artists. Their restaurant and lounge, Chambers, is a hidden gem with awesome cocktails and a mix of creative crowd." - Astro Studios
"The Phoenix Hotel is, bluntly, cooler than cool. It's a creative, funky, free-spirited space known for its mid-century architecture and colorful interiors. Its courtyard pool surrounded by murals is as far from traditional as you can get, but that's what makes it so special. And its affordable price point doesn't hurt, either." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"RnB and Ribs, the daytime party with top-notch food, will take over the Phoenix Hotel on New Year’s Day from 1 to 6 p.m. Tickets cost $30 in advance or $40 on the day of the event and attendees can expect live music from DJs knowpaslaps and J. Espinosa." - Lauren Saria
"This 1950s motor lodge has been a magnet for the cool crowd ever since it served as a hangout for classic rock bands playing at The Fillmore. Now Phoenix Hotel has been reincarnated as an uber-hip mid-century lodge in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. Rooms are small and simple, but what they lack in space, they make up for in style, with textured pillows, live-edge coffee tables, and dramatic pops of color. Some suites have private balconies and separate living rooms." - Megan McCrea, Jenna Scatena
