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.

Wonderful hotel, fabulous customer service -- Stay here when you're in San Francisco.
by daughteire
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
