Set in the city's bustling Nob Hill, the Cathedral Hill Hotel puts guests three blocks from the cable cars, six blocks from concert venues at the Civic Center and right on Van Ness Avenue, where they'll find plenty of movie theaters, restaurants and night clubs. For business travelers and conventioneers, the Moscone Convention Center is two miles away.
The Cathedral Hill exemplifies early modern architecture and design preserved through careful renovation. The hotel is built around a central courtyard with an outdoor splash pool and pavilion. Guests can relax in a heated outdoor pool on the fourth floor garden patio, work out in a 24 hour fitness center, and enjoy local microbrews and California fare at the hotel's Hilltop Restaurant and Bar.
Recreational enthusiasts will have plenty to do. They can receive discounts at two health clubs or play three miles away at the 18 hole Presidio Golf Course deep inside the city's verdant park near the Golden Gate Bridge. The course is lined with century old eucalyptus and pine trees.
Yeah, yeah, old eucalyptus and pine trees are great, but what about Cathedral Hill's rooms? The elegantly remodeled guest rooms come complete with balconies providing breathtaking and romantic views of the courtyard or San Fran skyline. From these balconies, guests could hear in their minds the strains of that Tony Bennett classic about leaving hearts here. The oversized rooms feature blond wood furnishings, movies and room service.
The hotel is named for the neighborhood's remarkable architectural collection of churches, such as the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. With its location so close to the convention center, the Cathedral Hill Hotel bustles with conference activities on its mezzanine, but amenities and location to the City by the Bay's attractions hook plenty of leisure travelers, too.
