Stay by the city's signature bridge in a nod to motoring history.. The Scene
Built to celebrate the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge, this hotel is one of the nation's first motor inns. Each room at this slice of Americana comes with a private garage. It's in one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the city; shopping and dining are plentiful, and the Presidio and Palace of Fine Arts are in easy walking distance. Enjoying beautiful surroundings away from the hustle of downtown means that visiting popular tourist attractions will require a car or public transportation.

The Details
Rooms come with a private bath and overlook a garden courtyard with bougainvillea and geraniums. The tastefully sparse American decor is bright and airy, with rustic wood furniture and floral bedspreads. Kitchen rooms are available for only $10 more, and they're not typical kitchenettes; make yourself at home with a full-size gas range and oven, stainless-steel sink and attractive wood cabinetry.
