Editorial Review for Hotel Rex – by Gayot.com
The Scene
Modeled after New York's famous Algonquin circa the 1930s, this salon-style hotel (formerly the Orchard) showcases well-known Bay Area authors, such as Jack London and Ambrose Bierce. In the extensive lobby library, their works line the mahogany bookshelves, and their portraits brighten the beige walls. In keeping with the bookish theme, poetry readings are held once a month in the lobby.
The Details
The hotel was opened by the Joie de Vivre group in 1997. It sits near Union Square, surrounded by art galleries on relatively quiet Sutter Street. The 94 compact rooms are homey, light and airy, and feature updated bathrooms. Amenities include writing desks (of course), private voicemail and call waiting. Cafe Andree serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; there is also a bar and complimentary evening wine service. Along with a concierge and salon/meeting room, extras include an adjoining antiquarian bookshop.

This is a great boutique hotel. Perfect location on Sutter St. near Union Square. The lobby is warm and inviting as are the staff. Great value vs. price.
Pros: service, location
Cons: small rooms

My husband and I came for our anniversary, and we loved it. This is no chain hotel--this place is chock full of personality. The hotel has charming decor, a beautiful lobby and bar, and one of the best restaurants in the city (it's tiny and seats roughly 24 people). Everyone here is friendly and helpful. There's a complementary glass of wonderful wine offered every evening. Steinbeck and Hammett quotes painted on the walls (if you love books, you'll love Hotel Rex). Fabulous handpainted lampshades. For some reason, the place seems to have vacancies. It makes no sense. No sense at all.
Pros: Ambience, service, restaurant
Cons: None
