GALLERIA PARK A KIMPTON HOTEL

To the delight of guests to the City by the Bay, the small and elegant Galleria Park Hotel occupies the heart of downtown San Francisco, placing them within a few blocks from Chinatown, the historic cable cars, financial district, Moscone Convention Center and Union Square's fabulous shopping. The Galleria Park retains the building's original art nouveau details, including a glazed crystal skylight, dramatic marble stairway and handcrafted ironworks, for a homey European style environment both lush and relaxing. Guests can enjoy morning coffee and evening wine receptions in front of the original steel and plaster art nouveau fireplace or relax in the hotel's rooftop garden, where benches and trellised areas are perfect for private picnics. Guests will love the rooftop jogging track and complimentary fitness center. Limited room service is provided by Perry's Downtown, a favorite restaurant next to the hotel. Perry's serves burgers, Chinese chicken salad, chopped salad, New York steak sandwiches and buttermilk onion rings. Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City books made Perry's version on Union Street famous. Meanwhile, guestrooms, splashed with tones of cream and tan accented by green and pink curtains, feature high ceilings, large closets, refrigerators, fancy Aveda bath products and soundproof windows. Business travelers and conventioneers will enjoy oversized writing desks and fax machines. The unassuming Galleria Park Hotel attracts business guests who appreciate being within walking distance of the financial district and convention center, while weekend vacationers pour into the place to take advantage of the downtown location and Union Square shopping.
