POWELL HOTEL

For guests seeking a great location to everything they want, the Powell Hotel sits just off Market Street at the place where the historic cable cars turn around to ferry visitors to practically any spot in this mystical City by the Bay. What's more, guests can stroll two blocks to the Sony Metreon Entertainment Center and the high end shops of Union Square, where they will surely feel their credit cards burning. Occupying a building from 1908, the Powell retains its 20 foot ceiling in the lobby festooned with plush, blue and gold chairs and oversized high backed benches. Concierges help guests with getting tourist information, arranging business services, and getting hard to get dinner reservations and theater tickets. Guests also can use fitness facilities at two nearby hotels, and then enjoy Krispy Kreme doughnuts, yogurt, fresh fruit, pastries, muffins, bagels, and espresso drinks for breakfast and soups, panini sandwiches, and salads for lunch in the Café Powell. Although the Powell doesn't have its own dinner restaurant, guests can find every dining option to satisfy their culinary desires
