Boutique luxury with a free wine hour within minutes of Union Square
Occupying a beautifully restored 17-story Spanish revival building in the heart of San Francisco, the Serrano Hotel, a Kimpton property, is both fun and sophisticated. The decor displays a healthy dose of whimsy, as the lobby and rooms incorporate vibrant colors and exotic Spanish and Morrocan accents. The on-site restaurant, Ponzu, serves up pan-Asian fare in a hip and modern space. Serrano offers wine hour every evening, as well as in-room spa services.
Highlights
- Hosted evening wine hour
- Union Square and Theater District offer unparalleled shopping and culture
- Pan-Asian cuisine at Ponzu, the on-site eatery
Rooms
Oversized beds, high ceilings and colorful accents characterize just about all of the Serrano's 236 rooms, 19 of which are suites. Accommodations come standard with cordless phones, iPod docking stations, honor bars, Aveda bath products and laptop-sized safes. The special "Wicked Suite" features photos of characters from the show "Wicked" and was designed in purple and green. Overnight shoeshines are complimentary. Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet access is available in all rooms (fees apply). Pets welcome (fees apply).
Features
The Serrano prides itself on fun. Arriving guests can try their luck in the "Check-In Challenge," a friendly card-game competition. If the guest wins, the prize is a free upgrade (when available). If the house wins, the guest is invited to make a voluntary contribution to the local SPCA. The property also owns a library of board games for guests to use in the lobby. Upon request, games are delivered to rooms.
The 24-hour on-site fitness center is complimentary. Spa services ranging from massage to facials and nail work are available in-room. The hotel also hosts an evening wine hour featuring local wines and offers complimentary limousine service to the Financial District on weekday mornings (when available).
Valet and self parking are available (fees apply); all hybrid vehicles receive a 25 percent discount.
Dining
Don't miss Ponzu, the adjacent (but hotel-operated) restaurant with an Asian flare. Dishes, many of which are served Tapas-style, have bright, bold flavors.

Highly recommended hotel
Great location, all major amenities, well appointed rooms, clean. Although my first time at a Kimpton Hotel, it will not be the last. I enjoyed my stay during what turned out to be a rainy cold week, when I had to spend more time indoors than anticipated. The wine tastings in the evenings were particularly welcome.

This is a quaint hotel with old-world
This is a quaint hotel with old-world charm. We had a room on the corner of the 11th floor which gave us views of the street below. The hotel is located 1 block from the cable car and 2 blocks from public transport to the waterfront. It is only 2 blocks from Union Square and some great shopping. It was a very hand position for the overseas traveller and not too expensive. The room was very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in San Francisco.

1 week in San Francisco
The hotel had a good location. The Union Square and the China Town were just some blocks far from it. Nearby we could take the buses and the cable car. Our room was very clean with a good clean service and view of the city. I have just one complain: in our package the breakfast was not included (we realized this there) then we must have paid the price to have it. I complain because the price was kind of expensive and they could give us at least a discount coupon (as they did with several clients) and we could have had breakfast there instead of looking for another less expensive breakfasts in the city everyday.

Great location for the price
In addition to the above, we enjoyed the complimentary happy hour. The location was ideal for our purposes, which, my wife, who is writing this and who lived for a year at 580 Geary, enjoyed walking to old haunts, which we easily could do from the hotel. We traversed the 3 nearby hills, went to SFMOMA and dined all over in 3 days. We do not do fitness or business stuff.

great hotel and value
This is a great hotel just two blocks from Union Square. The lobby has an old world elegance to it with a free wine hour in the early evening. The staff were especially pleasant and helpful. The King size bed was very comfortable. Rooms aren't real large, but then who spends that much time in them anyway. I'll come back here next time.

The hotel is in a great location
The hotel is in a great location close to Union Square, Powell Street & public transport. Don't walk down Taylor towards Market St as this is a bit scary! Otherwise excellent in every other way. Complimentary coffee in the morning, complimentary wine in the evening. Great service, staff were friendly and the rooms had everything you need for a comfortable stay.
