San Francisco Proper Hotel
Chic lodgings in the Golden City proper





This sophisticated and chic urban retreat in the heart of Golden Gate City consists of 131 guest rooms, with its design drawing on early modernist, cubist and secessionist art. Combine this with modern amenities (such as walk-in rain showers) and large windows that allow the rooms to be bathed in natural light, and you have an exquisite contemporary hotel.
The hotel lobby
Enjoy all-day American cuisine by chef Jason Franey in Villon, the hotel’s restaurant and lounge – with culinary and mixology inspiration taken from the city. Afterwards, sample the cocktails at Charmaine’s, the cosy and cool rooftop bar providing stunning views of the metropolis.
