The stunning Serrano Hotel sits within two blocks from the renowned ACT and Curran theaters, Union Square's high-end shopping and entertainment, and cable cars for quick rides to Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown. Business travelers and conventioneers are with walking distance or short rides from the Moscone Convention Center and financial district. Even without advance tickets, theater buffs can still bag boffo seats at many top theaters by buying half-priced, day-of-performance tickets at the TIX Bay Area station near the hotel.
The Serrano features restored Spanish Revival architecture, eclectic furnishings and sophisticated amenities, such as an extensive library of board games and nightly Sangria receptions. Guests also can work up sweats in the hotel's 24-hour fitness room and the sauna. Corporate types can work in the 24-hour business center and hitch rides on weekdays from the hotel's complimentary Town Cars.
San Francisco being a city of to-die-for restaurants, guests will find plenty of dining options, including the hotel's Ponzu, which tickles tastebuds with Asian-influenced California Nouveau cuisine. The bar offers exotic cocktails for post-theater imbibing.
Guest rooms are splashed with crimsons and golds with touches of exotic Moroccan influences. Amenities include high-speed Internet access, plush bathrobes, high ceilings, and large windows that offer salivating city views.
What's more, hip cats and sly dogs, as long as they're small and well behaved, will enjoy designer mineral water, doggy biscuits, gourmet lamb and rice dog food, sheepskin beds (don't tell Fido and Morris the sheepskin is faux), rawhide fetch sticks and cleanup bags for calling cards.
A Kimpton hotel, the Serrano reels in sightseers and shoppers for the proximity to prominent theaters and Union Square and a steady stream of business clients for the convention center and financial district. Fido and Morris will want to know when are they coming back.
