The Monaco Hotel - a Kimpton Boutique Hotel

The Monaco Hotel - a Kimpton Boutique Hotel - overview.

The whimsical-chic Monaco is 1 block from two acclaimed theaters, 2 blocks from the cable cars, and a half-mile from Chinatown.
The 201-room hotel abounds in delicious details: canopy beds, soaring Art Nouveau murals, and a “pet” goldfish for your room.
The hotel is attached to the popular Grand Café, a pre- and post-theater brasserie that looks like a 1920s Paris train station.

Deluxe Room - These guestrooms feature one canopy queen bed, one king bed, or two double beds, all with pillow-top mattresses; rooms can accommodate four people.
Queen Canopy Room - At 200 square feet, these are certainly the most intimate of rooms. Guests can curl up in the four-poster canopy bed and enjoy the soothing fragrance of the essential-oil aromatherapy kit. Rooms can accommodate a maximum of two guests.

What to expect:

Amenity highlights: Tucked on the bottom floor are a workout room and a petite urban spa that feels like a personal sanctuary. What the spa lacks in size it makes up for in services: There’s a full regimen of massage and facials, a spa, steam room, sauna, and private changing rooms with lockers. Free chair massages are also offered at the nightly wine reception in the lounge off the main lobby. And cancel the kennel: This is one of the city’s rare dog-friendly downtown hotels, with lots of pet-pampering services. Dogs should feel at home in the public areas as well—enormous, fanciful animal sculptures decorate the lobby, hallways, and adjoining restaurant.

Grand Cafe - A short walkway off the lobby leads to this excellent French brasserie, which features contemporary seasonal cuisine in a striking room that calls to mind a Paris train station circa 1929. The petite café and bar in front serves a variety of French favorites such as Salade Lyonnaise and a classic cheese omelet until midnight on weekends. The bar offers sophisticated cocktails (five kinds of Manhattans alone) for after-theater socializing.
