Contemporary décor accented by gerbera daisies and soft jazz music graces the lobby of this downtown boutique hotel, where young professionals and romantics can wander amid a pop art collection that includes works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Keith Haring. Bold lines and color strokes continue through the guest rooms, which include dataports, bathrobes, and a selection of pillows. A retractable roof highlights the top-floor Starlight Ballroom, and a signature martini—the Craizi Daizi—is a major draw at Daisies Bistro, the hotel’s restaurant. The Bristol is conveniently located near the city’s convention center and the Gaslamp Quarter.
