| The Phoenix Hotel is a tourist-class hotel located
in the center of San Francisco and 15 miles from San Francisco
International Airport. Once a 50's hangout for Hollywood celebrities,
the Phoenix is an unexpected oasis with a carefree spirit and
an ever-growing lore. Experience an urban hideaway where the magic
of creativity and hospitality blend within the world's most spectacular
city. Each spacious 50's style bungalow room is decorated with
handmade bamboo furnishings, and tropical plants. All guestrooms
have views of the courtyard and pool. The fun and funky island
inspired Phoenix Hotel is the perfect urban hide-away. The hotel
features over 250 original works of art on the grounds including
paintings, photographs, and sculptures from local artists. The
hotel features full concierge services including staff-authored
guide books to The City. The hotel bar, Backflip, is bathed in
deep water blue, and the bar shakes and shimmers with the city's
chicest collection of night crawlers. The Phoenix Hotel is convenient
to many area shopping, dining and entertainment venues. The landmark
Phoenix Hotel, San Francisco, Calif., is known as the renowned
"rock 'n roll hotel." Located at the edge of the hardscrabble
Tenderloin neighborhood, the Phoenix is within walking distance
of the city's hottest nightclubs and the Civic Center's opera
house, symphony hall, civic auditorium, main library and Asian
Art Museum. The Phoenix is close to the Glide Memorial United
Methodist Church, which religious scholars claim is where the
standards for effective inner-urban ministries began. The hotel
rose from being a 1950s-era motor lodge to a unique place with
its own nightspot, the Bambuddha, which also serves Southeast
Asian cuisine. In addition, the hotel's central courtyard, which
is popular with celebrities, is a good place for guests to check
out visiting artists and entertainers. The courtyard also features
a heated pool. Guests also can enjoy complimentary continental
breakfasts in the hotel or poolside. Retro style guestrooms are
spacious and feature tropical bungalow stylings, tropical-print
bedspreads, original local art, handmade bamboo furniture, windows
that open and cable TV. At the Phoenix, the steady stream of rock
and film stars, the tropical 1950s motor-court architecture, Bambuddha
and thatched-roof bungalows make are what make this hotel special
for those nostalgic guests. Where else but the Phoenix, a Joie
de Vivre boutique hotel, can guests get complimentary tattoos
upon check-in. |
