With great value and a groovy ambiance, the cheeky Commodore Hotel stands three blocks from Union Square's glorious shopping and near world renown theaters, including the Alcazar, known for its ornate, deco architecture and outrageous and avant garde productions. Get a load of this: the Commodore's staff members are so knowledgeable of the area that they wrote their own guide book. Beat that, other concierges! The culturally inclined will delight in being so close to so many art galleries, which range from the contemporary to the utterly bizarre, and internationally known cafes and restaurants. And, of course, there are the other sites, such as Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park and the romance of Sausalito, that have become synonymous with this place where people leave their hearts.
Dating back to 1928, the Commodore's vintage, high domed lobby's stylish, ultramodern décor is a feast for the eyes. Europeans, musicians and trendsetters mingle over breakfast in the retro Titanic Café and martinis in the crimson drenched, terminally hip Red Room home to huge crimson cosmopolitans.
When not wallowing in hip and chic, guests can work out at a full service health club around the corner and surf the 'net at computer stations in the Commodore lobby. To get away from it all, assuming that they want to, patrons can retreat to stylish guest rooms that feature attractive, but very contemporary, décor, wildly colorful bedspreads, striped curtains, vases of fresh flowers, large walk in closets, coffee makers, refrigerators and data ports.
One of Joie de Vivre's boutique hotels, the Commodore attracts international travelers who appreciate value and the staff's knowledge. Guests even can spin a giant wheel for sightseeing suggestions. No, guests will not see Pat Sajak or Vanna White.
