San Francisco hotel suggestions
Will be visiting San Francisco next March with my partner. Choosing a hotel has turned out to be a tricky task. Maybe someone here has good suggestions. The previous San Francisco hotel thread is from 2006...
Instead of choosing one of the "grand" ones (Mandarin Oriental, Ritzs, Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt etc) we would like to find a bit smaller and intimate hotel. Perhaps gategory "luxury boutique hotel" would be closest what we are looking for. Any comments for example on Clift, Taj Campton Place, W hotel, Omni or Vitale? Location between Union square and Embarcadero would be ideal. Gay friendliness is not probably an issue in San Francisco...
