Gaige House

Gaige House

With one foot in the old world and one foot squarely in the new, the Gaige House is a California wine country bed and breakfast unlike any you’ve ever seen. From the outside it’s a classic Victorian mansion of the sort that’s for some reason peculiar to Northern California; inside, though, it’s s...
Good Hotel

Good Hotel

That’s “good” as a noun, not an adjective. San Francisco’s Good Hotel is less about being a good hotel—it certainly is that, in its unassuming way—and more about doing good. It’s the ideal location for this sort of thing. It’s literally in the shadow of the city’s new federal ...
Harvest Inn

Harvest Inn

Hidden in plain sight on the edge of the charmingly old-fashioned Napa Valley town of St. Helena is the Harvest Inn, a rustic boutique-style hotel set on 20 acres of parkland and redwood groves. This is the wine country’s main artery, and literally St. Helena’s Main Street — but from within the h...
Hope Springs Resort

Hope Springs Resort

There is a two-night minimum stay requirement for all stays at Hope Springs Resort. When making a reservation, please specify your arrival time. Hope Springs references two aspects of classic Californiana at once — on the one hand, the mid-century modernist roadside motel (whose...
Hotel Adagio

Hotel Adagio

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 th...
Hotel Angeleno

Hotel Angeleno

America’s wealth of disused and neglected modernist hotels and motels is a resource we’d like to see put to better use. So the Hotel Angeleno comes as a nice surprise. This cylindrical tower on the West Side was a Holiday Inn, from that middlebrow chain’s Sixties tower period — today, though, aft...
Hotel Bel Air - Dorchester Collection

Hotel Bel Air - Dorchester Collection

Note: Hotel Bel-Air is currently closed for major renovations and will reopen in mid 2011. About Hotel Bel-Air:Hotel Bel-Air is a true 5-star luxury boutique hotel in the famous hills above West Los Angeles. Set on several acres in the center of the famous mansions of Bel...
Hotel Casa Del Mar Santa Monica

Hotel Casa Del Mar Santa Monica

If you believe in karma, then the Casa del Mar has paid its dues. In the 1920s Santa Monica was the place to party, and the Club Casa del Mar was the hotspot — at least for silver screeners like Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford. Built for two million, a then unheard of sum, it was where st...
Hotel Drisco

Hotel Drisco

Hotel Drisco’s most extraordinary feature has to be its location; while most of San Francisco’s hotels are clustered around the bustling downtown area, the Drisco makes its home in the sedate upscale residential district of Pacific Heights. This is the postcard vision of San Francisco...
Hotel Erwin

Hotel Erwin

The very eclectic San Francisco–based Joie de Vivre group has been setting up shop in Southern California, most recently in Venice Beach, itself quite possibly the most laid-back place in the United States. And the Hotel Erwin does its level best to fit in — with a restaurant called Hash and a ro...
Hotel Frank

Hotel Frank

San Francisco, already America’s highest-occupancy hotel town, has lately been upgrading its stock, and the Personality Hotels group has been at the front lines. Hotel Frank is a fine example of the new guard of stylish hotels around Union Square; though the classic building is pure historic San ...
Hotel Healdsburg

Hotel Healdsburg

Northern California’s wine country has no shortage of lodgings—seemingly every third house is a bed and breakfast. Hotel Healdsburg, though, is something unique; this full service luxury hotel bucks the faux-rustic trend in favor of sleek modern design. Guest rooms are spacious and sma...
Hotel Kabuki

Hotel Kabuki

Previously a slightly faded chain hotel, the Kabuki now belongs to San Francisco’s homegrown Joie de Vivre boutique hotel group. And under their direction it’s looking to recapture a bit of the optimistic jet-set romance that must have accompanied the opening of this modernist concrete high-rise ...
Hotel Oceana Santa Monica

Hotel Oceana Santa Monica

There’s a case to be made that the popular image of LA has it all wrong. It’s a vast, sprawling, crowded city, in most places hardly the oasis of mellowness it’s commonly suspected of being. Santa Monica, however, is exactly that oasis of mellowness — it’s got the beach, the pier, the pr...
Hotel Rex

Hotel Rex

Those who aren’t fans of the 1930s detective stories may be unaware that San Francisco is the original hardboiled town. San Francisco crime had class—dames in silk stockings offering you two hundred to knock off tiresome husbands. Well, the Hotel Rex hasn’t forgotten this city&#...
Hotel Solamar - A Kimpton Hotel

Hotel Solamar - A Kimpton Hotel

Located in the booming Gaslamp quarter, and just a block from the new baseball stadium that’s driving this city-center renaissance, Hotel Solamar is the first San Diego venture for the San Francisco-based Kimpton group — a group that’s busy exporting its funky yet accessible aesthetic all over th...
