Sitting on the outskirts of Pacific Heights, this gracious, intimate hotel spells romance. Constructed as a private residence in 1902, the exterior’s elegant Edwardian architecture complements the guest rooms, which feature canopied beds with silk spreads and fine linens; many rooms have fireplaces, too. French and English antiques are scattered throughout public spaces and guest rooms. Stop by the hotel’s Avalon Bar for a cocktail, a glass of local wine, or a peek at the large butterfly collection; for a more wholesome evening, nibble on the cookie that’s included in your nightly turndown service.
