Executive Hotel Vintage Court

Frommer's Review

Consistent personal service and great value attract a loyal clientele at this European-style hotel 2 blocks north of Union Square. The chocolate-brown lobby, accented with comfy couches, is welcoming enough to actually spend a little time in, especially when California wines are being poured each evening from 5 to 6pm free of charge (each week a local vintner is on hand to do the pouring).

But the varietals don't stop at ground level. Each tidy, quiet, and comfortable room is named after a winery and boasts a modern country look (think Pottery Barn meets Napa Valley), where greens and earth tones reign supreme, with cream duvets and lovely mahogany-slat blinds. Niebaum-Coppola Penthouse Suite (named after the movie maverick's winery, now called Rubicon Estate), the deluxe two-room penthouse suite, has an original 1912 stained-glass skylight, wood-burning fireplace, whirlpool tub, complete entertainment center, and panoramic views of the city. Smokers, book a room elsewhere because puffing is prohibited in all rooms here. On the bright side, pets are welcome.

Masa's, one of the city's more upscale restaurants, serves very expensive contemporary French dinners here.
