Hotel Monaco
Location: 501 Geary St. (Downtown)
The Hotel Monaco in San Francisco is not necessarily hip, although it is well designed and cool in it's own way. A guest here feels like they are more part of a giant bed and breakfast than a hotel. There is a coffee hour in the mornings, a wine hour in the evenings, and a huge fireplace in the lobby. Many of these details are lost in larger hotels.

The Fairmont Hotel
Location: 950 Mason St. (Nob Hill)
At the top of California Street, The Fairmont Hotel sits perched at one of the highest points in the city.

Still close to all the popular neighborhoods, yet away from the wall to wall commerce and buzz of the downtown area, the Fairmont defines old school elegance and class.
