Hotel Overview
A two-story fireplace greets guests at this seven-story downtown San Francisco hotel. The eclectically decorated Hotel Monaco occupies a 1910 Beaux Arts building 2 blocks from San Francisco's Union Square and a cable car line. The hotel's ornately decorated lobby with its trompe l'oeil ceilings, grand staircase, and cheeky reception desk mimicking a 1920s steamer trunk, is where the fun begins. A sophisticated decorating style prevails with brightly colored fabrics and wall treatments including lime-green-and-yellow striped wallpaper, a red Chinese-inspired bed canopies, antique-style armoires and bamboo writing desks. The smoke-free Hotel Monaco offers a brasserie-style, fine-dining restaurant and bar, and also hosts a daily wine-and-cheese reception.
