The Phoenix Hotel, a Joie de Vivre Boutique Hotel - San Francisco Hotels

Legendary Party Spot. The Phoenix is, to this day, where touring rockers touch down in SF. It's definitely a party hotel, although staff is known to roust unrulies...but that's to be expected; some people are actually trying to sleep.…

Awesome Stay! Great service!!!. Stay was great! Staff is that of a 5 star hotel. We got a call within 10 minutes of entering our room, to make sure everything was ok, and if we needed anything to just call. I have never had that at any hotel I have stayed at.

Shower was a bit disfunctional, water fills up like a bath while you shower. Bathrooms definitely need some remodeling.

The area is not for the snooty, but the cultural and worldy type. Don't let the street people scare you, they are absolutley harmless. Still a great place to stay and centrally located. The continental breakfast was fresh and coffee was fantastic, I love the heated patio.

Bed was very comfortable and linens were awesome. Super clean room. I enjoyed it, we don't usually spend a whole lot of time in our room anyway, but we certainly could have with the comforts of this one.…

Worst staff ever!! continued. I decided to brush it off. I went back to my room and took the bags out. As I was walking out I saw a few people I met the night before . It is around noon now and we all decided to chill by the pool since it was a nice day and have a couple of drinks. So we are all having a great time in this great pool area that this hotel has . Sore enough here comes the blonde hair doo girl Everyone who has checked out nedds to leave know. I counted up the rooms and the ammount of people there made up at least 7 rooms. I think their staff needs a little more trainig in customer service. I loved the hotel, but the service was horrible all around , the staff all looked like they couldn't give a feces weather you like it there or not. There is a Shrine to Vincent Gallo on the second floor by room 44, it was funny.…

This retro motor lodge is a swanky destination for stylish folks.. The Scene
In the '50s, the Phoenix served as an occasional playground for Hollywood celebs. Now, remade as a boutique hotel, it enjoys the same status among touring rock stars and the Bay Area's young professionals. The 44 rooms (including three suites) all overlook the heated outdoor pool and modern sculpture garden. Inside, colorful carpets and bedspreads and contemporary pieces by local artists create a kooky-but-comfortable environment.

The Details
The front-desk staff is friendly and ready to offer opinions on what to do in San Francisco. Rates include a poolside continental breakfast and one on-site parking space. The Phoenix also offers laundry and valet services and will arrange massages for tense guests.…
