An imposing neo-classical structure atop a steep hill (this is San Francisco, after all) is tucked away between Nob Hill, Chinatown and Union Square. Club Level Rooms come with perks: breakfast, light lunches, hors d’oeuvres and drinks in the Club Lounge. A stylish restaurant, Parallel 37, serves California cuisine and the swanky JCB Tasting Room serves flights and bubbles. Other facilities include the L’Occitane Spa and a modern fitness center/gym. L’OCCITANE en Provence, the Mediterranean-inspired spa, is located on the lower level inside this luxury hotel where professional therapists provide 33 treatments. Fans of the brand will recognize those sunny pops of yellow, citrus tea, lavender scents, and lovely aromas. Special spa treatments include those to minimize the effects of jet lag and others to maximize anti-aging strategy. Keep up a workout regime at the fitness center where state-of-the-art cardio machines and strength-training equipment are available 24/7.
