Hip happenings in 1920s salon style hotel
Drawing on the literary and artistic past of San Francisco, the Hotel Rex, a Joie de Vivre Hotel takes its name from local poet Kenneth Rexroth, and his artist wife Andree Dutcher provided the inspiration for the new Californian/French fusion bistro Cafe Andree. Recently renovated, this cozy and original hotel blends elements of Provencal style with the feel of an authentic 1920s salon, and hosts jazz nights and literary events. Valet parking is available at Hotel Rex and pets are allowed (fees apply).

Staff were very friendly and helpful
Staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was excellent - just adjacent Union Square. Happy hour with free glass of wine for guests was appreciated and the lounge atmosphere was very pleasant. The lounge could have done with some lighting during the day for reading and the cafe attached to the Hotel was only average. Still there were plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby.

From the moment we stepped in
From the moment we stepped in to reception we were made to feel very welcome. This property has that "Olde Worlde" charm about it with complimentary coffee in the morning, and wine in the evening happy hour. Location is just great for retail therapy - 5 minutes walk to Department stores about Union Square. Cable car runs right by the hotel.

Excellent somewhat olde worlde
Excellent somewhat olde worlde feel to the hotel; complementary drink hour in lounge area, plus occasional live music, was most enjoyable and really popular with many guests. Breakfast in adjoining Cafe was of high standard.

This was a very interesting and
This was a very interesting and cosy hotel with great ambience and colour. Older style - love the fire escape ladders on outside - close to Union Sq and good restaurants and shops and Cable Car. Very helpful front desk people,very welcoming. Didn't get to join in for happy hour or try restaurant but looked inviting. Would recommend for short stay as room small.

Pleasantly surprised both with the quality and location of the hotel at a realistic price. The free glass of wine between 17.00 and 18.00 is a nice touch after a day exploring San Francisco.
