Dating back to the bopping Jazz Age, the Omni San Francisco is a deluxe hotel in the heart of the city's thriving financial district with cable cars stopping right outside its doors. What's more, guests at this prime location are only short strolls from Chinatown and the high-end shopping and entertainment in Embarcadero Center and Union Square. Just two blocks away stands the Transamerica "pyramid" building just posing for pictures.

The hotel's 1926 building maintains its Florentine Renaissance look while being equipped with all the latest modern amenities, including a 1,500-square-feet, full-service health club complete with "Get Fit Kits." In the lobby, guests can surf the 'Net for free via wireless access and then order 24-hour room service from the hotel's classy restaurant, Bob's Steak and Chop House, where a full wall of windows allows diners to view the foot traffic on Montgomery Street. Look! Isn't that Paris Hilton?

For business travelers, the hotel provides a fully stocked business center and complimentary Town Car service during morning and afternoon rush hours. For parents, their kids under 12 get complimentary activity packages.

Meanwhile, guest rooms feature classic 1920s high ceilings, wingback chairs, two-poster headboards, gold draperies, patterned wallpaper and crown molding, but also high-speed Internet access, on-demand movies, CD players, and turndown service complete with milk and cookies.

The Omni's location in the financial district location is ideal for business types, who make up most of the hotel's clientele. However, leisure travelers love the proximity to Chinatown, North Beach and Union Square.

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.
