More information on Hotel Palomar

The Hotel Palomar is a sophisticated artful retreat in the heart of downtown San Francisco. Hidden five floors above the city hustle and bustle and just steps away from ever-busy SOMA district, this Kimpton hotel is like a great painting waiting to be discovered by the discerning traveler. The style of this San Francisco luxury hotel is modern but not trendy, with playful touches throughout. The dAcor invites closer inspection that reveals artful details, such as the lobby's stunning parquet floors reminiscent of the geometric drawings of M.C. Escher. The atmosphere recalls Paris of the 1930s, where artists and intellectuals chatted at sidewalk cafes in an imaginative city full of creative energy, just like modern day San Francisco.
