Rough Guide "This raucous retro motel conversion features a mixed gay-straight clientele and has been a favourite with touring bands for years."

Ask for the “Headliner Suite”, which sports a separate living room.
Frommer's "If you'd like to tell your friends you stayed in the same hotel as David Bowie, Keanu Reeves, Moby, Franz Ferdinand, and Interpol, this is the place to go." Full review
Concierge "If you're looking for a romantic hideaway, the Phoenix is not for you. If you want to party like a rock star, you've found the place."
Fodor's "A magnet for the hip at heart and ultracool... the Phoenix isn't the best choice for those seeking peace and quiet." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This funky two-story motel, in the heart of the Tenderloin District, conjures up images of old Route 66."
Time Out "Add funky styling to affordable rates and parking for tour buses in a 'gritty' neighbourhood, then sit back and watch the hipsters roll in." Full review
Gayot "Situated on the edge of the Tenderloin, the Phoenix was once a 1950s cinderblock motel known for its Magic Fingers beds."
BlackBook "Retro ‘50s no-fuss tropical bungalows. Think Palm Springs on a foggy day."
Travel + Leisure "This historic motor lodge is infamous for housing dozens of rock star musicians over the last five decades." Full review

Rough Guide "South of Market highrise outpost of the pricey hotel chain that thinks it’s a nightclub."
Michelin Guide "The 'W' doesn't really stand for wonderful, witty, or wow, but all perfectly sum up the style of this corporateloving hotel."
Frommer's "As modern and hip as its fashionable clientele, this 31-story property suits its neighbors, which include the Museum of Modern Art, the Moscone Center, and the Metreon entertainment center." Full review
Concierge "The San Francisco outpost of the W hotel chain is popular with conventioneers for its proximity to the nearby Moscone Center... But the hotel is comfortable as well as trendy."
Fodor's "The epitome of cool urban chic... this swanky 31-story Starwood hotel owes some of its cachet to a prime location next door to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." Full review
i
Fragrances waft throughout the hotel and guest rooms, so sensitive noses should call ahead to request special preparations.
Time Out "This trailblazing, chic and ever-so-slightly snooty urban hotel chain continues to expand around the country, but it hasn't yet reached the point at which hip and fashionable turns to yesterday's thing." Full review
Star Service "Monday through Friday this hotel is all about business, but come Friday the energy is fun and frivolous.
" Full review
Gayot "Given the sophisticated and modernist decor of this SoMa property, it's fitting that the hotel is located adjacent to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art."
BlackBook "Sleekly appointed hotel has co-opted the concept of yuppie Wonderland. Three-story octagonal glass entrance leads straight to the lobby bar (brilliant)."

""If you're looking for a place to party", this "popular", "stylish" SoMa chain boutique is a "fun" "favorite", with "chic", "gorgeous" quarters."
