Prescott Hotel

Housed in a 1917 building within a mile of Union Square, Moscone Center, and the Powell Street cable cars, this Kimpton hotel combines a convenient location with a multitude of little extras—from complimentary umbrellas and yoga equipment to welcome gifts and child-sized animal print robes for kids. The 164 guestrooms were renovated in 2001 and feature cherry furniture, an autumn-inspired palette of dark brown and beige, Italian linens, and marble sinks. Free morning coffee and evening wine is available beside a brick fireplace in the Living Room lounge, while Wolfgang Puck’s award-winning Postrio serves contemporary American cuisine.
