Hotels and Bed&breakfast
HOTELS :
The website Joie de Vivre offers a good selection of hotels. Our favorite :
Hotel Del Sol in the nice neighborhood of Marina/Cow Hollow for its swimming pool.
Hotel Drisco on Pacific Heights.
Hotel Vertigo
Close to Union square. The Hotel from the eponymous Hitchcok movie. Ask for one of the renovated bedrooms. Reasonably priced. www.hotelvertigosf.com
No breakfast at the hotel. But the famous French owned Café de la Presse, 342 Grant av., a few blocks down the street, serves delicious croissants and fresh baguette. And for those who prefer pancakes and omelet, go straight to Sears Fine Food, 439 Powell street, a SF breakfast's institution.
Kimpton Hotels
A well known Boutique Hotel chain. About 10 hotels in SF. Usually well located and clean.
If you want to be sure of your choice, we recommend checking the reviews left by previous customers on websites such as Booking.com.
BED & BREAKFAST :
Parker Guest House in Castro-Mission.
Perfectly located, clean, and friendly staff.
Château Tivoli, Hayes Vallley-Western Addition.
Old Victorian home near Alamo Square, restored in the turn of the century style and with authentic furnitures. A painted ladies' lover paradise.
SHORT TERM RENTALS :
This is another option, that can be cheaper for families.
