Hotel Palomar - A San Francisco Union Square Hotel that is Art in Motion. An artful urban retreat in the heart of downtown San Francisco is Hotel Palomar. Hidden five floors above the city hustle and bustle and just steps away from ever-busy San Francisco Union Square, the hotel, a Kimpton Hotel, is like a great painting waiting to be discovered by the discerning traveler.
The style of this San Francisco luxury hotel is contemporary but not trendy, with playful touches throughout. The décor invites closer inspection that reveals artful details, such as the lobby's stunning parquet floors reminiscent of the geometric drawings of M.C. Escher. The atmosphere recalls Paris of the 1930s, where artists and intellectuals chatted at sidewalk cafes in an imaginative city full of creative energy, just like modern day San Francisco.
Located at 4th Street and Market, Hotel Palomar is centrally located near three of the city's most dynamic districts: the thriving South of Market (SOMA) district, the Financial District, and San Francisco Union Square, famous for its great shopping. This sophisticated boutique hotel is just a short walk from Moscone Convention Center and great art museums, such as SF MOMA.
With a reputation for high-touch service and individual attention, Hotel Palomar is a study in the Art of Service and reflects the standards expected from a Kimpton Hotel. The luxury Hotel Palomar was awarded Conde Naste Traveler's 2005 Gold List of the World's Best Places to Stay, and this dynamic California hotel also received the prestigious AAA Four Diamond hotel award, a trend unbroken since the hotel opened in 1999.

San Francisco boutique hotel rooms and suites in a quiet urban sanctuary
Inspired by French designer Jean Michael Frank, the décor of Hotel Palomar San Francisco is a mix of artistic styles: contemporary design that is at once playful and arresting, energetic yet composed. The result is a dazzling achievement of architecture and style that gives this San Francisco boutique hotel a warranted place in spirited San Francisco.
Hotel Palomar is cast in soothing earth tones and accented with delightful splashes of color. The living room on the fifth floor and the first-floor lobby showcase a stunning tri-color parquet floor that conjures an Escher drawing. The pattern creates a shimmering optical illusion, inviting guests to connect with the carefully placed art, as well as the imaginative facets of the everyday pieces found throughout the hotel: from the green geometric headboard patterns, to the intricately-crafted armoires of wood and polished glass, to the lively and unexpected leopard-print carpeting in the guest rooms, imagery created at Hotel Palomar is deliberate and delightfully intense.

SUITES
Hotel Palomar San Francisco hotel suites are beautifully realized compositions of cosmopolitan comfort. These 16 suites inlude:
Deluxe Suites - 625 square feet offer a king-sized bed, a sitting area/parlor, and an oversized bathroom with Fuji soak tub and separate shower
Luxury Suites - 675 or 1350 square feet of spacious arrangements featuring a turreted living room and circular sofa, dining room table that seats six for dinner or meetings, and bathrooms with Fuji soak tubs.
The René Magritte Suite is a playful tribute to "art in motion" and the mesmerizing work of the well-know surrealist. Everything in the room evokes Magritte's paintings: the ceiling floats overhead as an open blue sky with suspended white cotton-ball clouds; a man's bowler hat rests on the pillow; a bowl of green apples creates a still life. In fact, there are several Magritte prints throughout the suite.
All Hotel Palomar suites feature DVDs, sleeper/sofas, Fuji soaking tubs and lavish "tub menus" for the personalized bath experience.
