Located at Union Square, the city's epicenter of exquisite shopping, restaurants and theatre, the Pan Pacific Hotel is one of San Francisco's premiere luxury hotels. Four theaters are located within two blocks and the financial district is just a four-block stroll out the front door. What's more, the Pan Pacific sits on Post Street, home to some of the world's most prestigious fashion names a la Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.
The distinctively designed Pan Pacific features cylindrical glass elevators that zip up a 21-story skylit atrium, which also includes a centerpiece sculpture of dancers surrounding a marble fountain. Local food critics rave about the hotel's Pacific restaurant for its Pacific-rim influenced, California cuisine. And, of course, what would San Francisco be without the cornucopia of high-end restaurants and cafes throughout the area around the hotel.
The hotel's Pacific East-meets-West ambience is reflected in all 338 guest rooms and suites, which feature LCD TVs, BOSE radios, work desks, ergonomic chairs, Portuguese marble bathrooms, fancy Gilchrist & Soames bath products, and high-speed and wireless Internet access. Guests can enjoy room service around the clock.
And from the Get a Load of This Department: pillows are custom-made at the hotel. Guests can have them created to their specifications in soft, hard, thick, thin and hypoallergenic.
CEOs, pro sports players and vacationing families mix at Pan Pacific Hotel, which sets itself aside from its competitors with signature valet service. Guests can summon personal butlers to their rooms 24 hours a day at the mere touch of a button. Warning: their names aren't necessarily Jeeves.
