The Pickwick Hotel stands in the heart of San Francisco four blocks or less from the San Francisco Shopping Centre, Moscone Convention Center, cable cars, Union Square, Museum of Modern Art, the Sony Metreon entertainment complex, and the theatre district. Pickwick guests also are short strolls from the financial district and Chinatown. Golfers, listen up: four (no pun intended miles from the hotel lies the 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.
A landmark since its inception, the Pickwick Hotel is a fine example of Neo Gothic architecture and was featured in the classic Sam Spade novel, "The Maltese Falcon." The Pickwick features a ground floor restaurant, Café Pickwick, which is only open for an American buffet style breakfast. However, this being San Francisco, guests can find many dining options serving everything from steak to sushi to Starbucks.
Guest rooms boast French provincial décors splashed with warm golds, reds and creams. They also feature well lighted work desks, custom armoires, over stuffed chairs with ottomans, coffee and tea centers and 100 percent cotton bathrobes.
Built in 1926, the Pickwick Hotel is a fav of leisure and business travelers who appreciate its proximity to shopping and the convention center.
