The Bar/Lounge at Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco

"The Pied Piper Bar & Grill, famed for its Maxfield Parrish mural, is considered one of the world's best bars"

"Or cozy up to the swanky Pied Piper Bar, where you can sip an expertly crafted classic cocktail or dine on upscale American cuisine, while gazing upon the $3-million Pied Piper mural that hangs behind the bar"

"Off the lobby, don't miss the bar at Maxfield's, which is adorned with an eerie Maxfield Parrish mural depicting the Pied Piper luring children to their demise"

"It is located near Union Square’s luxury shopping and beside a BART station, and striking features include Maxfield Parrish’s Pied Piper painting in the bar, a gold atrium ceiling in the restaurant, and glass-roofed indoor pool"

"Also notable: the 1909 Maxfield Parrish mural of "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" located in the Pied Piper Bar"

"Walls of mahogany rise behind the reception desk, and an original Maxfield Parrish mural adorns the Pied Piper Bar"

"The grand public areas are certainly highlights here, but unfortunately those who like to lounge about in their rooms will find them deficient at the bottom of the tariff card"

"Under the glass dome in the lobby, sip wine from GC Lounge"

"Fine white cotton linens and bedding grace comfortable beds footed with chaise-style lounges that double as luggage benches"

"Tourists who speak multiple languages mingle with native San Franciscans in the sophisticated lobby lounge that is decorated with a massive paisley rug in blue, gray, and purple; modern blue couches; dark wood communal tables; tufted tan leather arm chairs; plenty of mirrors; and nine sets of original glistening glass chandeliers"
