About Hotel Monaco San Francisco
Kimpton, the company who owns Hotel Monaco as well as many other fine hotels throughout the United States, themes each of their hotels off of a distinct storyline. Some are based off of art or literature, others derive their themed décor from personal health and wellbeing. Other motifs include architecture, food, wine – and in the case of San Francisco – “Sophisticated World Travel.”
When you visit Hotel Monaco, you will notice many travel-themed embellishments including a Tree of Life sculpture by a noted Bay Area artist. The sculpture includes illustrations of founder Bill Kimpton’s world travels as he worked to develop the Kimpton hotel line.
Nightly, the hotel has a Wines of the World vintage collection at a special reception, or you can enlist the concierge for help in booking a table at the Grand Café or tickets to a show within walking distance of your overnight digs. Hotel Monaco’s ideal location near Union Square, San Francisco’s theatre district and the Moscone Convention Center means you will never live a humdrum night while staying there.
The hotel itself has 201 rooms with laundry and shoe shining service, 24-hour room service and complimentary Internet access (great for working from your hotel room). You can even get a massage to wind down after a long day of business meetings, sightseeing, or whatever else you are in the city to do.
The Grand Café
The Grand Café is the official restaurant of Hotel Monaco San Francisco. Its French-themed cuisine is infused with a California twist. All menu ingredients are locally grown and purchased, allowing every dinner guest to experience the Bay Area’s unique penchant for fine dining.
Next to the Grand Café you will find the Petite Café, a smaller scale dining experience ideal for informal evenings or an intimate cocktail date.
Breakfast is served every day from 7-10:30 a.m. during the week, with brunch offered mid-morning to 2:30 p.m. on the weekends. You can also join the Grand Café staff for lunch on weekdays, and for dinner starting at 5:30 p.m. up until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The bar menu is available until late into the evening, so give the restaurant a call for exact times and selections.
A Place for the Whole Family
Hotel Monaco is a pet-friendly hotel, allowing families to enjoy their pets away from home without compromising that high-scale hotel environment for which many are looking. Their “Bone-a-petit” pet package includes a designer pet bed and specialty dog food, a pet tour guide of the Bay Area, a hotel souvenir pet toy, and leash rental if necessary.
You can bring your cat as well, and if you happen to leave your pet at home, don’t despair – the hotel has a complimentary goldfish that is fed and maintained by housekeeping, so you can enjoy some pet companionship with no effort whatsoever.
