Hotel Kabuki Review

If you want accommodations a little east of center, and you don't mind being out of the downtown loop, the Kabuki is a solid choice. Located in the heart of Japantown, steps from the shops and yummy noodle houses of the Japan Center, and just up the street from Robert Redford's Sundance movie theater complex, the Hotel Kabuki is an underdiscovered gem of a luxury hotel. Designed in serene Japonesque style, with koi ponds, shoji screens, Zen gardens, and Japanese artwork throughout, the Kabuki has a grace, style, and quiet elegance that you don't find in a lot of Western hotels (certainly nowhere else in San Francisco). Guest rooms feature high-thread-count linens, flatscreen TVs, iPod docking stations, bathrobes, Asian tea kettles, and Japanese snacks in the honor bar. Many rooms have deep soaking tubs, some suites have dry saunas, but if yours doesn't, the hotel offers complimentary passes to the communal baths at nearby Kabuki Springs & Spa (make your reservation online). The in-house restaurant, O Izakaya Lounge, sports a J-Pop baseball theme and offers a great bar-snack menu with more than 20 different kinds of sake.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 24-hr. concierge; 24-hr. fitness room; in-room spa treatments

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
