To the delight of theater buffs, shoppers and all other vacationers, the centrally located Adagio Hotel sits less than three blocks from major theaters, Union Square's exquisite shopping, and the historic cable cars.
From the 1950s style lobby, with its modular living room seating, to the globe light fixtures, the Adagio, one of the city's dozen or so Joie de Vivre boutique hotels, exudes a sultry glamour, the quintessential place for romantic getaways. Guests can work up sweats in the Adagio's fitness facility, hop free Town Car rides on the weekdays into the financial district, surf the 'Net via high speed access in a lobby anteroom, and mingle with other patrons over tea and cookies in the evening. The hotel is attached to the popular Cortez restaurant and bar, where Mediterranean cuisine is served tapas style. Guests will turn to mush over the date and mint crusted rack of lamb with garlic chive purée and olive oil poached yellow tail with shallots in thyme foam.
When they return to their guest rooms, which range from 375 to 490 square feet, they can salivate over the city views out their windows, which they can fling open to luxuriate in the cool San Francisco breezes. They can bath themselves silly with fancy Aveda products and then travel to the Land of Nod on low rise platform beds with pillowtop mattresses. Amenities also include 24 inch, high definition, flat screen TVs, complimentary high speed Internet access; and movies.
In the bar or lobby, executives with wireless laptops mingle with European vacationers and California weekenders in town for theater productions. Frequent guests even can leave luggage at the hotel between trips with the "I Left My Bags In San Francisco" service.
