The Argent Hotel sits conveniently in the vibrant South of Market arts district surrounded by some of San Francisco's most notable sites. Pleasure seekers can walk to cable cars and trolleys for rides to Chinatown, Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf. The culturally inclined can visit the world-renowned San Francisco Museum of Modern of Art, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts about a block from the hotel, as well as smaller galleries, such as the Cartoon Art Museum, tucked along side streets. Then, they can take in the theatre district spread out within a five-block radius. What's more, guests coming to the City by the Bay for business will be pleased by the Argent's proximity to Moscone Convention Center and financial district.

At the Argent, guests have access to professional massage services and a complimentary fitness center. Jester's Restaurant and Lounge features an extravagant drink menu and live music on Friday nights, as well as classic American cuisine with a Gallic accent, all prepared under the supervision of a French master chef.

Guest rooms and suites offer floor-to-ceiling windows, full-sized lighted desks, and luxurious bath amenities and bedding.

Showcasing works by artists such as David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein, the Argent Hotel takes great pains not to resemble the typical 36-story hotel. Every nook of this place has some kind of object de art, from a gold-leaf dome and original murals in Jester's to a Hockney lithograph by the elevator. What's more, the Argent is extremely kid friendly: concierges help families plan child-friendly sightseeing excursions.

NOTE: This hotel is experiencing a strike of hotel workers, (including cooks, room cleaners, bartenders, bellmen, food and beverage servers, bussers, and dishwashers). Replacement workers are in place, and an end date has not been decided. Until then, guests may encounter picket lines upon entering, and some services may be affected.
