What to expect:

Amenity highlights: A hosted wine reception is offered every evening at the in-house wine bar, amidst colorful majolica vases, fresh flowers, still-life paintings, and a marble fireplace. Here, or at the acclaimed adjacent Italian restaurant, guests can sample 40 wines by the glass. Morning begins with coffee, a complimentary newspaper, and homemade pastry from Caffe Kuleto's, a sidewalk café in the hotel lobby.
Insider tip: At the foot of Powell Street, 1 block from the hotel, is the terminus for the cable car, where most visitors queue to catch a ride. Riders can avoid the long line by simply standing under the cable car sign at any point along the route and waiting for the conductor to stop and let passengers board.

Kuleto's - This top-notch contemporary Italian restaurant focuses on regionally farmed produce, fresh meats, and seasonal fish. Accented in dark wood and white marble, and anchored by a 40-foot-long antipasti bar, Kuleto's attracts a lively, local pre- and post-theater crowd as well as tourists from around the globe. It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Caffe Kuleto's - The sidewalk café adjacent to the hotel lobby serves pastries, pizzas, and panini, as well as fresh-squeezed juices and coffee. Signature vinegars, oils, and sauces are available for purchase.
