Hotel Palomar
12 Fourth Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
Hotel picking, it turns out, is like dating—"you better shop around". On the third go-round, we've met our match: The Hotel Palomar.
With all the attractive qualities you have come to expect from a Kimpton Hotel and an urbane vitality and style that's so San Francisco (where food and comfort are a fine art), the Palomar has it all. And in the right spot: it's right off Union Square (and even closer to Nordstrom's—speaking of shopping). The Wharf is just a cable car away.
Beyond the fanciful rooms in bold colors (also featuring three phones, a copier/fax machine, data ports, Aveda bath products) you will find modern French cuisine and a fitness center (at an additional fee) to regain equilibrium.
There are also meeting rooms and a wonderful lobby to impress your guests.
We just may be finished with San Francisco dating and ready to settle down at the Palomar. Enjoy!

3/22/07: I just got back from a whirlwind visit to SF and did stay at the fabulous Palomar. Looking for a change of pace in a quieter spot, I then checked out the Harbor Court Hotel in SF's business/waterfront district, the Embarcadero. I loved this place! Full of light and color, it is so fresh and sparkling. Many of the rooms have bay views. And though the rooms may be small-ish (though not cramped), the vista is expansive. Also, across the way is the newly renovated Ferry Building, a gourmet mecca.
I'm already plotting my return. Let me know what you think.

Dotting the hills of its hometown, Kimpton has a terrific array of boutique charmers; I especially like the Monaco, the Prescott and the Argonaut (all pictured below).
