Guide Review - Throwback Style and Ambiance in S.F.
Hotel guests will enjoy a very central location, within walking distance of fashionable boutiques, flagship designer stores, the latest trends mixed with an array of vintage. The theater district promises a fine show most every evening, and the dining options in and around Union Square are among the finest in the city.
Part of the Joie de Vivre family, The Hotel Rex is a throwback which aims to keep its artistic inspiration going through a number of regular literary events of its own. Also, every evening, guests are invited to lounge in the lobby and enjoy the complimentary wine hour (5 p.m.-6 p.m.). And every Friday evening, the Jazz Age returns -- with the dulcet sounds of the hotel's Live Jazz Series adding to the ambiance of the lobby/bar (6 p.m.-8 p.m.).
With rates from $149, this hotel is well-suited for the couple or business traveler who is looking for a balance of quiet and vibrancy during a holiday stay in San Francisco.
