Set on the waterfront Embarcadero roadway, this unpretentious 200-key property is a true oasis of calm: with their subtle earth tones, the interiors are a study in minimalist design, a calming atmosphere only furthered by lavender-scented common areas and a penthouse-level spa with its own bamboo garden and alfresco soaking tubs. The in-house restaurant-bar Americano serves robust Italian rations that attract locals and guests alike.
