"This 136-room historic hotel in swanky Nob Hill has an attentive staff, a quiet, intimate atmosphere, and old-world grandeur to spare." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Each of the spacious rooms is individually decorated – many have a wet bar, and some have kitchens. Indulge yourself at the world-famous Nob Hill Spa, located on the upper floors of the hotel."
Star Service "The historic establishment offers the most intimate and distinguished feel of any of the four hotels topping the hill." Full review

For the nominal increase in the rates, avoid the middling deluxe rooms and head up the next rung to the spacious luxury rooms.

Rough Guide "This small, fifteen-room hotel has tiny but dramatic rooms featuring canopied beds and Art Deco-ish bathrooms, all done in rich, dark colours."
i
Columbus Ave can be noisy, so if you’re a light sleeper, ask for a room at the back.
Michelin Guide "North Beach's strong Italian roots and beatnik past live together in perfect harmony at Hotel Boheme."
Frommer's "Romance awaits at the intimate Hotel Bohème." Full review
i
Request a room off the street side, which is quieter.
Concierge "Smack dab in the heart of North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy, the Hotel Bohème nods to the neighborhood's Beat era heyday."
Fodor's "This small hotel in historic North Beach takes you back in time with cast-iron beds, large mirrored armoires, and memorabilia recalling the Beat generation." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Although the guiding motif is the Beat era, this 15-room hotel feels more like a 1930’s pensione in Florence, only without the meals." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The stylish and hip Boheme is a homage to the Beat Generation, in the heart of where it all began. Bold color schemes and whimsical touches enhance the hotel’s poetic vibe."
Star Service "Located smack in the midst of San Francisco's vibrant North Beach neighborhood, this hotel provides an ideal place for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the bohemian spirit of the area." Full review
Gayot "Rooms are sparse at the three-story Hotel Boheme, but, considering the property's name, that's the whole idea."
BlackBook "Street clatter and cafe chatter characterize North Beach neighborhood best known for bringing notes from the underground to the surface."
