Frommer's Review
Housed in a stately 1925 Moorish/Gothic-style building that also houses the Post Street Theatre and popular Farallon seafood restaurant, the Kensington underwent a $1.5 million dollar renovation in the spring of '08 and is now one of the best mid-priced lodging deals near Union Square. Exuding old-school San Francisco charm, the lobby features hand-painted ceilings, mosaic tile, and classic Queen Anne antiques accented by crystal chandeliers and palm trees. Large guest rooms on the 5th through 12th floors have a mix of classic and contemporary furnishings such as 36-inch flatscreen TVs and iPod alarm clocks, and the bathrooms, though small, are sweetly appointed in brass and marble. If you want the royal treatment, book The Royal Suite, which features a canopy bed, formal dining room, living room, whirlpool bath, two fireplaces, and wonderful views of Union Square. The hotel lacks a fitness center, but guests have complimentary use of the adjacent Hotel Diva fitness center. Tip: For the best city views request an upper corner room.
