Think of American boutique hotels and you’re probably thinking of hotels by Schrager or Balazs, in cities like New York or Los Angeles or Miami. All this time, however, Chip Conley’s Joie de Vivre group has been building a small empire in San Francisco — and one of its pillars, in the heart of the theater district and just off Union Square, is the Hotel Adagio.
Renovations have kept it more than current; though the building may remain an antique landmark, its rooms are among San Francisco’s most modern, in a rich palette of earth tones, with more natural light than you’d expect in this foggy town. You’ll find all the mod-boutique trappings: at very least, 24-inch HDTVs and CD players; and in the better rooms, iPod-docking stereo systems, and updated, luxurious bathrooms.
Views are at a bit of a premium, and the neighborhood borders on one that’s rather more unfinished, to put it politely. But to the north is the tony Nob Hill, and to the east, the shops at Union Square, making this one of the city’s most desirable locations — car service connects you quickly with the financial district.
