Hotel Rex a Joie de Vivre Hotel - Property information

What to expect: Named for San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth, the Rex pays homage to the literary salons of the 1930s, with period furniture, antique dial phones, displays of antique typewriters, a well-stocked library, and original paintings by local artists of the day. The clubby atmosphere, location, and calendar of lively literary events attract an eclectic crowd of bon vivants, bohemians, and businesspeople.
• Amenity highlights: In the lobby lounge, locals and guests settle in for Pimms Cups, complimentary wine tastings, readings by local authors, or performances by a jazz quartet. Scheduled to open soon, the hotel's new high-tech business center will be disguised as an old-fashioned study.
• Insider tip: The Rex organizes guest tours for San Francisco's First Thursdays, when art galleries in the surrounding neighborhood host wine-and-cheese receptions and viewings of their new exhibits on the first Thursday evening of every month.
